She doesn’t know what to say
Mom won’t listen anyway
Trying to find an outlet for the pain
Something to let her know she’s still sane
Her mom she shrieks but won’t hear her out
And in the night you can hear them shout
Wishing she never said anything at all
Wondering why she even answered that guys call


What do you do when no one will listen?
On your face your tears they glisten
What do you say when you don’t understand?
It’s not like this is something you planned

Teens of today meet the horrors of tomorrow
Every day stuck living with the sorrow
Mistakes you make mark the age in which you live
Support isn’t something our parent’s always give


He sits on the steps and hears his dads tantrums
Telling him his friends are all low life bums
A punch in the face, a kick in the gut
Finding himself in the same old rut
He has his own plans and wants to see them through
But his dad wont seem to get a clue
Dad saying he’s wasting his time
Is growing up really such a crime?


What do you do when every things forbidden?
Can’t help but to keep your own feelings hidden
What do you do when loved ones hold you back?
Feeling your resentment continue to stack

Teens of today meet the reality of tomorrow
Behind every corner is another blow
Making the decision to do good in Gods sight
But how can you be certain your parent are right?

All around you’ll see us looking for the answers that we seek
But every time we give voice to these our parents only freak
Open your selfish eyes
And maybe what we do wont come as a surprise


~Alright peoples I changed the title (Hope this is better) Thanx to rhia_5779 for letting me know the title was unfitting. I hope you like this one better!~

Wow!!!!!. Other than punctuation, and the title seriously not fitting to it in my oppinion. This was very good.


Outlet is not out let  but outlet.

it was a litte jumpy in some parts,great ideas,and the flow was good, though.
Its ok long though.

High praise! Thanks for pointing out my mistakes!!! It's kind of hard to see them if you don't have someone to point them out. I hope I can do better next time, thank you!

I really liked this, it was good. It may have been a little jumpy in parts, but I still really liked it. I think it's a topic a lot of people can connect with. good work!

I agree with everything the other said. I would like to add that in some spots it appears like there needs to be a word added to make the sentence more complete, if you know what I mean?

Thanks for sharing though! There IS a little bit of something that everyone can relate too, or so I think.

may be beautiful within."
