Confessions of a Teenager

by Daz Mellow   Apr 29, 2007


Well I'm stuck in a world of hurt.
Nowhere to go.
No one to turn to.
Just sitting here in my corner.
Staring at the people passing by.
They might think I'm a bit crazy,
They can say whatever they want.
I don't really care.
I don't really care!

I know that it's my fault.
My fault I'm so freaking strange.
I don't fit in, and I don't try to.
Don't always dress right,
Don't always look like the rest of the crowd,
Like the only caterpillars in a field of butterflies.

When I'm not suppose to,
I stay up late at night.
When no one knows,
I like to live a little.

Dance like music is playing in the silence.
Breathe in the air like its my last.
Take in the whole world,
This is how I live when no one is looking.

These are confessions,
Confessions of a teenager.

Oh I know I'm not who I'm suppose to be,
To you.
I know I'm not what everyone expected.
I'm not a princess,
I'm no angel.
I'm not a demon,
I'm no devil.
I'm just me...
I'm just me!

I'm sorry Im not pretty enough.
I'm sorry Im not funny enough.
I'm sorry I can't be what you want.
I'm sorry I can't change for the world.
I'm sorry I can't play nice,
I'm sorry I can't act mean,
But I won't say I'm sorry,
No I won't say I'm sorry for being me.

These are my confessions.
These are the confessions of a teenager.
Why,
Does the world want to know how you're living?
Why,
Can't they just live their lives?
Isn't that ever enough?
Isn't that enough?!

I only want to live for me.
I want me to know who I am.
I don't care if you can't take it.
I don't care if it doesn't work for you.
I know I might sound a bit selfish,
But at least I'm not the one,
Trying to change someone else.
Trying to live someone else's life.

*Meh...I can't think of a better title, but look at the bright side if you judge a poem by the title you're pretty much shallow...So yeah, just so you know. Hope you like it! If you don't, please tell me why and all that good stuff. ^_^ Cheers!
