Get up.
Complain.
Eat breakfast-
no.  
You're a teen, you don't have time for breakfast.

Go through the torture of a school-day.  
Feeling self-conscious and fake.
Knowing that your bell's only five minutes longer.
But you have three more waiting for you at the door.
You're taking that math test you thought you were prepared for-
no.
You're a teen, you don't get to have good grades.

You're home.
Eat the first bit of food you've had all day, why?
Because you forgot your lunch money again.
Stupid brain.  
You should have hid your report card better.
Mom's got it in her hands.
You enjoy twenty minutes of ranting.
Then you can go rest-
no.
You're a teen, you've got homework to do.

Time for bed-
no.  
You're a teen... what's sleep again?
