Stereotypical Teens

By Poet

In the darkness last night,

I paused and realized

This isn't right.

We don't have to be stereotypical teens

Always acting cool

Only thinking of boys,

Breaking all the rules.

We should change the way

People view teens

We aren't all cruel

And bullies and mean.

We can change the world

By just being kind.

And I know I make it sound easy,

Like it is nothing at all,

But I Know the truth is

Down deep, we are all afraid to fall.

There’s no way to guarantee

You won't ever get hurt

Because sometimes people stink.

But there's no way you'll understand people

If you hide under your rock all the time,

So come out of your hole and bask in the sun.

Just be kind and hold no grudges,

For lifes too short to do anything

That involves hate
