Teen Angst

Teen angst.
You say it as though it is a stage.
Like it's normal. Expected.
Like the feelings of immense pain are something i can live with and be okay.
Like when its "over," none of it will matter and i will still be the same person.
Don't try to tell me that agony is a stage.
Because it's a feeling.
A feeling like love and happiness.
Are those stages too?
Well then tell me what comes after stage love and stage happiness.
Stage loneness?
So quit calling it teen angst.
Because that means nothing to me.
