Typical Teenager Poem by Mike Kendall

17.. ha feeling like a know everything
when really i know nothing
iv lived less then 17% of my life
feeling like i am the sharpest knife

all we do is party party
drink drink
we r caught up in the moment
throwen life in the sink
not once did we stop to realise
and think

wasten every good opportunity
taken life for granted
adapting to our community
grown the seed it planted

yeah iv had my head in the bowl
wrenching my guts out
ive had the joint in my mouth
which my lungs felt

ive achieved the word 'cool'
thats what we have labeled it
getn off my face
everytime thinkn ive nailed it

we've all herd about us kids dieing
in the paper and on the news
to only ever achieve one result
to leave our familys crying

we've all got the same ears
the ones with selective hearing
the ones with ear fones blearing
not every message will pass through

my view of fun is changing
time to repair all my broken gears
time to pull the earfones from my ears
