I Know What I Want

I stand by my word

I know what I want

I know its ok

So why would anyone

Be so rude to a kid

I’m a teenager

I’m rude

Not an excuse

But you should see

The damage you’ve done

To little old me

I guess I’m not

Mature enough

To understand

According to you

What a tragedy

That you can't see

How much it hurts

I hide my clothes

Just like I hide myself

From the cruel words

The cruel actions

That seem insignificant

To you

Well fun fact

It hurts

To hear someone I love

Call me inappropriate

My clothes disgusting

Say I go to school to show off my body

I go to learn

High honors

All A’s

No mistakes

Words hurt

Almost as much as a sword

But I’m tired

Of the “fully clothed” person I was

I’m changing

Believe it

Or you’re in for a surprise

  • When They Were Kids

    The past

    Full of mishaps

    Full of mistakes

    Full of mess ups

    Full of errors

    Contradictory

    We should learn about

    All the things we did wrong

    So we can get better

    But some people

  • Kid Or Adult

    We're only kids

    But we need to be

    As mature as adults

    We're little kids

    It's not safe

    But we're basically an adult

    So we can have adult responsibilities

    We can't stay up with friends
