Our brains are stuffed so full
they begin to leak
dripping knowledge
algebra
english
science
garbage
art
We tip over
from the loads
piled upon us
homework
expectations
college
jobs
life
Beginning to realize
that the world
is not our friend
but we still face it
head on
brave faced
tearful
Understand that we are still young
still learning
but we have voices
loud
strong
beautiful voices
that sing knowledge
and truth
We learned it from you
the older generation
you paved the way
and shone the light
except when you didn't
Now we are here
trying to set the wrong right
and figure out the world
at the same time
Can you understand
why we're stressed
anxious
scared?
Help us
don't push us off
because we're
angsty
rebellious
troublesome
teens
