Teen Years Poem by Alexias Ware

Everyone tells you
they're the best years of your life
The thing they dont tell you
is they are all full of strife.

From a child to a teen
in less than a year
It's a lot to deal with
you have to grow up fast.

It's a child you're free
as a ten you feel locked up
A child has no worries
A teen has a lot.

You learn the meaning of love
You discover broken hearts
The worries of being accepted
are the hardest parts.

What's the best
about those years?
When as a teen,
you live in fear.
