TEEN

Onwude Erica 2006 (Nigeria)

Being a teenager sucks
Why did I have to grow up
All the moods swing and the voices
Saying I'll never keep up

Sometimes I hate my mind
Since it discourages me most of the time
If I ever want to achieve something
I'll usually be out of time

My feelings leave me confused
I can't find a suitable muse
To give me inspiration and peace
And support my "outrageous" views

Sometimes I'm afraid
I think I might be insane
When I turn to soliloquy
When I'm frustrated with my ways
