I live my adolescent life
In adolescent peace
During my adolescent afternoons
I dream my grown up dreams
Laying here my adolescent heart
Drums with grown up apprehension
And I sleep in a child's bed
Pink frills and rock posters
Brushes and make-up in my teenage room
Money in my used up wallet
Just like my parents do
My teenage mind is searching
My childish heart is lurching
I feel these grown up feelings
As I lay in a child's bed.

This is a good point about growing up and the confusion that's involved. Well expressed.
