teenage eyes

Every day passes,

Reminding me of lessons to be learned.

Opportunities pass me by

showing me things to be earned.

Today I learned of love,

And the pain that it may bear,

You never know a person's truth,

Behind the masks they wear.

I do not know the meaning of love,

or why its never true.

I'm unsure if so many things these days,

I know less than I thought I knew.

It find its getting difficult

To distinguish good from bad.

I need to move on past that hurts,

Move to heaven from this hell.

I need to stand up to others,

And to myself as well.

I dont know how to tell

A good friend from a bad.

We talk behind each other's backs,

Ruining the trust we had.

When I stare into the mirror,

I see things I wish I could deny.

A fear of judgment and confrontation,

I can no longer look myself in the eye.

If everybody has to go,

through torment and through pain.

If they understand the hurt,

That is anothers gain.

If they can feel,

The burden of their fears.

And know the cost,

Of showing their tears.

If they know how it feels,

To have a lover or friend.

Stab their backs with knives,

Why are they so cruel to say

These are the best years of our lives??
