US TEENAGERS...
IN PUBLIC...
WE FAKE A SMILE,
PRETEND WE ARE OK WHEN WE ARE NOT
LAUGH LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW
WE JOKE AROUND
AND WE HAVE TONS OF FUN
BUT THAT IS JUST ON THE OUTSIDE.
IN PRIVATE?
WE LET IT OUT!!!
SCREAM UNTIL THERE IS NO VOICE LEFT IN US.
GO BALLISTIC!!!
UGH!!!!
WE HATE OUR TRIBULATIONS!!!!
IN PUBLIC WE MUST LOOK GOOD!
WE HUG PEOPLE!
WE BEHAVE LIKE HYPOCRITES...
SOMETIMES WE STAY EXPRESSIONLESS...SAVING OUR ENERGY...
SCREAMING?
IN PRIVATE!!!

Can't teenagers be truly happy sometimes? Why does every smile have to be fake?
i agree with what unwana said because you have to be the real self and stop faking of the one you want to be..
I like this poem because many people can relate to this and you wrote it in a way that expresses yourself..

I love your poem because it relates so much to my life. True, most people are the same everywhere but sometimes, you just have to let it out.
