Teenage hood
I am at a point where I am confused
I am at a point where I am lost
Is this what being a teenager is?             Boluwatife

I am at a point where I crave to be seen
I am at a point where I crave to be loved
Is this what being a teenager is.            Boluwatife

I am at a point where my heart is broken
I have lost so many friends at this point
Is this what teenage hood is?               Loretta

I am at a point where I don't want to disappoint my parents
I am at a point where I don't want to disappoint my friends
Is this what being a teenager is?         Boluwatife

I love being a teenager, I hate being a teenager
I am confused, depressed and frustrated
Is this what being a teenager is?         Boluwatife

So many things crave my attention
I am afraid I will succumb to the pressure
Is this what teenage hood is?             Loretta

So much is expected of me
I can't seem to find a balance in my life
Is this what being a teenager is?          Boluwatife

Am I being weird, aren't I too fat
I think I'm too thin, a lot of people are staringšŸ˜„
Is this what being a teenager is?

Everyone wants to force their opinions on me
No one cares what I think
Is this what teenage hood is?             Loretta

Moonlight Love
I always couldn't wait for midnight
Especially on days when the moon shined in all it's glory
When everyone found solace in their bed
When I would stealthily creep out in search of my lover
The one who made my heart beat faster

I always couldn't wait for midnight
When the stars danced and twinkled I the sky
while the moon bore witness to our love
when I rested my head on your shoulders
And flushed at the words you spoke

I always couldn't wait for midnight
When we stood under the palm tree
And the soft breeze bore witness to the sweet nothings you whispered
When we watched the waves gushing
And the tides told stories of our undying love

— The End —
