Death of a Teenager
Angst—melted
Rebellion against childhood—forgotten
Fighting to earn respect—lost
Complex complexion—burned
Return to innocence
Welcome back youth
Seek simplicity
New expectations to bind
Free in trust given by the loss
Free in the death of a teenager
Free to embrace childhood once again
To be happy in acting as we wish
Confused by the passing of days
We are all the same
Yet choked by blinding attitudes
Death of a teenager
End of this limbo state
All the difference
And yet no change
Youth—reborn
twenty years—haven’t seen the world
twenty years—no experience
twenty years—no wisdom
eighty years—no difference—still no knowledge of how to truly live
Children hold the precious gem in innocence
Death of a teenager
Let the same blood that courses these veins
Flow once again in the excited glee of youth.
