When I say I love them
It's driven from my fear
When I listen to their words
I want to disappear
When they tease and mock me
It's all I can do not to cry
When they hug and apologize
I want to scream and run and hide.


Why don't they just pay attention?
They seem so cruel sometimes
It's all in good intentions
But it's tainted with grudges and lies


They're always comparing me to them
But I'm not them! I'm me!
They're always saying, "When I was your age..."
I'm not you! Shut up! Time's changed!


They tell me to find something better to do
Well, first, tell me, what is "better"?
They tell me to go outside and play
Teenagers don't "play". Shut up. Go away!


So many things, I never speak out
No one I truly trust, I always have to lie
Beneath my composure, I'm just a scared little child
All I want sometimes
Is a shoulder
To lean and cry on...
. . . will move to scraps later. Or delete. I dunno.
