Twenty-First Century Teen

Sex, drugs, drive, cry
Parents live, divorce, remarry, die
Homework, housework, work-work, work
Essays, boyfriends, girlfriends, tests
Get into that college, get into that club
Love, lust, pregnancy, abort
Teachers, managers, parents, lovers
iPod, iPhone, iPad, iWasRaped
Depression, addiction, infatuation, disappointments
Getting good grades, getting good drugs
Skinny, fat, pretty, ugly
Porn and textbooks
Fucking, fleeing, fighting, feeding
Gas money, lunch money, durg money, sex money
Be the saint, be the slut

And you say being an adult is hard.

I was feeling angsty, so I wrote this.

Not everything in this poem applies to me.
