Who am I?

Who am I?

By Heidi Hewes 

Stressed, overwhelmed, scared

How the heck am I supposed to survive in this stupid world

High standards to live up to

(Why do I have to be so great)

The little devil on my shoulder constantly hammering my mind with 

“A+, GET AN A+” 

Just shut up…

My parents don’t even care what grades I get 

As long as I’m working hard 

Let me be myself, let me have fun

Let me do something I love and not feel guilty for going something I enjoy

Don’t even get me started on homework…

 You try to make time for it

But

You just don’t have any time, I swear it’s a teenage curse 

Being a teenager is hard.

The only true relief for all the stress is music 

Music connects to you in a way nothing else can

Music…

It helps calm your mind down 

Music helps guide you back to your happy place

You know, that place in your mind where all you do is just live happily ever after

Being a teenager is hard.

God WHY is being yourself so hard..

I will never have a skinny waist like those models

Quit telling me how to dress, how to eat, how to become “attractive” 

Just let me find myself god all I do is try to please you

I work constantly at trying to love my stomach, god I try.

But being a teenager is hard.

I want to have freedom, I want to drive…

I want to be able to speak my mind to my family, and share my ideas 

Without being told I’m being rude

I’m not trying to be rude, I'm trying to speak for myself!

I wake up eat my diet cereal and watch tik tok

I just want to feel happy in my own skin. 

WHY CAN’T I BE HAPPY AS A TEENAGER!
