It’s
when you
look at me,
from the outside,
I appear composed,
disciplined and balanced.
It’s hard pretending all’s ok.
When looking at me inside,
I tell a different tale,
I seek approval,
I’m insecure,
anxious, lost
lonely
too!
Do you know what it is like
being a teenager,
in today’s new world,
where your mistakes
are quickly
pointed
out.
Yet,
when I
tried to speak,
nothing but a
garbled mumbled voice
tries to rise above the
surrounding blended noises.
Every once in a while,
it would be nice to hear,
of things I do right,
good things I do
as your praise
means more
now.
I
struggle
finding me,
and the person
I am becoming
with each and every day
as I don’t know what fits right.
I may act like nothing’s wrong,
but I hide it quite well,
wouldn’t you agree?
I learned to hide
by blending
in with
crowds.
I just need more role models,
showing how to become
a man in spirit,
mind and not just
body but,
the whole
deal.
I
hope you
heard my words,
not just listened
to my cry for help,
as it is not easy
being a teenager now.
