Troubled Teen

Troubled teenager
Living in the moment
No thought for the future
No thoughts for the past!
Only searching and searching
For something that will last!
Just like in the fairy tales
Just like in the romance books
But do you really understand?
That a life like that is just for looks!
When will you understand?
How life really is?
When will you see the truth?
Behind the master plans?
Life is not just fun and games
Life is not just drugs and shame
There's so much more to experience
Than just the wild raging shams
Look around and open up your eyes
See the real things that matter
See all the possibilities that
Could be yours and mine
Just a little thought and you will see
That those plans are for you and for me
Just listen please and have a think
Surely you know how to blink
Surely you can open up those tunnel eyes
And see the whole world as it really is!
Not just through your eyes
But through mine
As I see you; your beauty and your grace
The smile upon your face
The sunshine in your eyes
As you look around and finally see
How you were truly meant to be!
