Music blares,
Through tatty headphones,
Hoods hide heads,
Spotted, youthful faces,
Glum and wretched,
'The whole world's against me'
Strict regulations,
Never free, Obeying
Someones orders,
Parents, teachers, what do they care?
One day adulthood will catch up,
Money and worries, work and stress,
Whereas now, all there is to think...
What can I do today?
eat what I like,
Buy what I like,
Dress how I like,
Simple and carefree,
Glad and happy,
Pink prom dresses,
And new cinema tickets,
Soon be replaced by grey papers,
Responsibility, tea and TV
The sun shines and doubt is lost,
The teens of today scream
They know what they want,
They are lucky to have it.
