Slow Down Teens!

You know, being a teenager, it may seem like many of my poems are quite sad.

But being young isn’t always bad.

 It means the opportunities of life are just beginning to present themselves to us.

For some it even means not more riding the bus. WOO!

It’s a time for us all to mold into whatever kind of person we want.

Make stupid decisions, who wouldn’t want to taunt policemen all day?

Getting grotesque gouges and showing mom, through gestulations as to how you received it.

Scaring mom half to death for doing stupid stuff, it's good to know they really care right?

Going to all the different concerts you can think of and banging your head up and down not worried about who sees!

We do this because we’re teenagers and right now these are the keys to life.

Moronically moving, making my mind up as to what kind of food I want.

Knowing no magnitude of meat will ever really change how much I weigh.

The joys of being a teenager are endless.

Walking into a room I call my own and the mess within.

Most adults I know don’t have quite the same luxuries.

All those adults that we should look for; they are exemplary.

I have finally begun to realize why it’s so important to cherish this time of being young.

Sooner or later I will become stung with the harsh realities of adulthood.

But it will tell you now I am far from ready for the responsibilities.

I speak to all the teenagers who can’t wait to become an adult slow down!

You have the rest of your life to be an adult and once you’re in you’ll be bound forever.

Take it slow, speculating to everything you can!
