A Teen

Here you are just fourteen years of age, and already you are full of rage. You want to be a grown-up, and you try to play the role, but when it comes to doing whats right, you are not responsible. With grades in school not up to par, and not much learning there, the only answer you can give, is just that you don't care. You want to be a grown-up, thats what you scream, and shout, but you don't know a thing, of what grown-up, is all about. It's not about blaming others, when the things you do are wrong, it's about taking responsibility, for mistakes that are your own. It isn't about being sorry, and having to apoligize, It's about listening to those you love, and growing to be wise. Don't be in such a hurry, in adding to your age, perhaps if you slow down a bit, you won't be in such a rage. And being all grown-up, isn't such a whim, For many who are older, would like to be kids again
