To conform is to hide
To stand is out is to be alive
We are judged by the eyes
of people of the wish to die

We are told to be fools
because we didnt get the highest gpa in school
we are told to be rude
when we are being honest to the cruel

We want to change
yet i see no action to explain
the sad reaction in society's reign
to be controlled and told to obey

The kids are told to look as pleased
yet we are being judged and teased
our weight isn't under 90 so we are obese
so we try to throw it up, over the toilet on our knees.

we are taught to be contained
our actions must be behaved
yet someone in the crowd must rage
to take a stand for us today

society is falling apart at the seams
and most of the problems effect us teens
and the struggle has yet to be seen
until you see all of the blood that we bleed

we are just children
and we are told we must make the right decision
if we don't then our life will be different
no house no car no life to live in

but we are teens
who have uncontrollable needs
we have unexpected mood swings
we don't understand most things  

but how would we know
how our life is going to go
when our parents do not show
the love we need to grow

we are just teens
most of us are unseen
so the blood that we bleed
should fix everything


right?
