As a teenager we're always told 

the same thing.

Doubted and clouted with the

"you teenagers think you know it all"

"you have no clue what it's like

to live in this world."

Now.

You might be right about both.

I may not know what it's like to live YOUR

miserable or self proclaimed perfect life.

I may not know every word in the dictionary.

Witness birth of a child

Holds my sons hand as he bleeds 

to his death and very last breaths

after being shot by the crooked cops.

or being grounded with the thought

of knowing that i have children, 

no job,

no home to go to, 

except the streets

I once took for granted.

Tell me that I should go to school, 

get a good job,

find a rich man, create a family of you're own

and you still find happiness.

But my happiness does not lay 

upon your words

or ideas of how I should live my ife.

It lives in the places

you never know

but you know it alright.
