Being a Teen
We are no longer children, yet not an adult
We seek to fulfill our desires and dreams
Paving our own paths, waves, and streams
Denying us independence would be an insult
Even if it means we make mistakes as a result
These life experiences build a stronger self-esteem
Mapping out our master plans to get the C.R.E.A.M
They say we are too young to stress
But old enough to make decisions
Only to be forced under some sort of supervision
They don’t understand that at times our lives are a mess
Our imbalanced emotions are hard to express
Living in a world of competition
We struggle to embrace this transition
Striving to beat the odds and make progress
We never imagined being a teen would be like this
We see what we want, becoming our own visions
Barely able to receive our provisions
We understand this might not be your envisions
Aiming for nothing less than success
Adults or not our dreams you will not suppress
