Curiosity's makin wonder
If I am totally a stanger
If I could be different
I am the only being I know how to be
But I am not good enough
I keep on faltering
I keep on failing you
Letting down
Letting you lose
But when
Will I be someone you can count on
Someone with a shoulder you can cry on
am I someone who you would turn to
would you run or walk to my side
If I asked you for a favor
would look into my eyes
would tell me to get lost
grow up and run away

Kellie,
Yup...I recall the joys of adolesence. It gets better. Good thing, eh? Hang in there.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Kellie, I like your poem. I don't know how old you are, but from your replies, you must be young, still. You did a very good job in writing this poem. I hope to read more of your work.Thanks for sharing.

What a touching poem. Did you know that of all the chapters in your life that teen-aged years are said to be the very, most hardest?

It is true and life just keeps getting better. So glad you are writing about this because many of us forgot how hard it is. And, keep writing, it is good for us.

Hang in there,
A big hug to you,

With Warm Regards
