Not An Average Teenager I'm not that teenager That gets drunk cause it's cool I'm not peer pressured Into things I do not wanna do I'm not that teenager Alone in the street Dying from heat, hunger, pain Or even all three I'm not that teenager Left mistreated, alone and confused Unloved by her parents And misunderstood by her fores I'm not that teenager Addicted to things That I shouldn't be Like pot, meth and cocaine I'm not that teenager That go pregnant Cause I was in love with A guy I hardly knew I'm not that teenager Failing in school Because I do not like To be told what to feel, say and do I'm not that teenager And I never will be That is garenteed But I am me I won't be told that I'm just another teenager You don't feel what I feel Although you say you do Only I know exactly How I feel Only I know exactly What I want and need So please give me this chance I need it severely It might be a mistake But I really don't believe it is I need a chance To prove to you I'm not like that teenager And neither is he Check out my work at www.facebook.com/poemsfromtheheart |

Nice plea. I know, I know, parents just don't understand. You could rewrite that theme with a mom or dad instead of a teenager. Enjoyed the read. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

The need and urgency to be understood is well expressed here. And you don't say you are better than the average teenager, but you say you are YOU and that is a good thing. JL's comment reflects truth. Love, Margherita |

I really can't add much to what JL and Margherita said because they said it better than I could have. You stated your case well... Welcome to Passions!! |
