Teen Poetry: Teen by Hollidai Washington

Teen

We all want to be something we're not,

not knowing what we've got.

We try to find the fame,

just to give us a name.

Others try to understand,

what makes them want to waste their hand.

In this game of life we live,

no one knows how to give.

Hearts we have so easily broken,

they will no longer be our token.

We see the light,

but we aren't so bright.

In our minds we want to share,

but all we do is take air.

In this world we're pieces in this game,

yet we still take the blame.
