I Am A Teenager Poem by perseverance Rasethitje

I am a teenager,
Adolescent stage starts here,
I wish my parents could understand,
Practicing maths, actually school work wastes my time,
I shall not always do things their way,
But making a point of not disrespecting them,

Parents try their best to warn me,
But that doesn't change the fact,
I am a teenager,
That's how it should be,

peer pressure must be taking part in me,
Hanging with friends, partying with them,
Hell no, how could that happen?
Why is teenagehood such a big deal?

I miss days when i was five years old,
Innocent and juvenile,
Young and not fully developed,
Not offensive but too cool and kind,
When my parents used to decide for me,

My parents should understand
That i might sometimes be irresponsible and
even naughty,
I wish everyone could understand,
I do things my own,
I am a teenager,
