He broke up with his girlfriend, I think
"Darling, I miss you,"
Yeah, he broke up with his girlfriend
"But not enough to hurt"
He's getting over her
"And darling, I'm sorry,"
Ah, here it comes
"But now I love her"
Ouch

A sad life
To be the girlfriend
Of a guitarist who nees
Some money

But a fulfilling one
Nonetheless

"Just hang in there!"
No, that cat hanging onto that branch is about to fall
And we all know it's not gonna make it like that
But you're not supposed to teach us
The harsh realities about the world in school

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
But geometry isn't gonna help me save the world
Nothing is
Because I'm a teenager... and you're expecting me to do what?!

"Learn something new today."
I learned a fun new name
That the students have been calling me all around school
That is a brand new thing I learned today

These inspirational posters
Aren't making me feel very inspired

You're breaking my heart
Oh, don't start
with the
"Oh, but where's the what YOU did wrong chart?"

You're hurting my head
At least that's what I said
When you went
"Momma, I don't wanna go to bed."

I feel so ill
And that water bill
Has gone so far up
The bath is so large to have to fill

I feel so sick
And this feeling will stick
Because the pills and the bills
Are too much of a sick trick

There's too many kids
That drunk teenage kiss
Turned into something...
God, I never wanted this

You try and speak
About your home life
And I go, "Yeah, felt that."

*****
Everything
Is always about me
isn't it

It's frustrating
To not be able to speak
It's frustrating
To have accusations thrown at me
It's frustrating
to be told to 'stop pouting'
It's frustrating
that you're frustrated
over every
single
thing

Hello, best friend of nine years

I am so sorry I forgot your name the other day

This paper
Holds only sadness
And so
With my spare time
I'm gonna scribble

All over the newspaper.
