If it weren't for poetry?


For the teens with the a passive personality

They are angered on the inside however, they are hardwired to remain to themselves

For the teens who have 3.5 GPA's and higher

For the teens who have refrained from from underage sex

For the teens who left the party that served alcohol

For the teens that never smoked cigarettes, weed, or took any other drug

For those teens that have never been congratulated for their right doings

For the teens that grew up in an abusive household without a way out

For the teen that was told to give up on applying to college

Being told they will not get accepted

For the teen that was taught scholarships are nothing but raffles

For the teen that cries themselves to sleep at

This teen is me

However do not have pity 

I write poetry for teens that are like me in order for youth with my character to survive
