Teen Years Poem by Maryam Khan

Everyone tells you,
they are the best years of your life.
The thing they dont tell you,
is they are all full of strife.

From a child to a teen,
in less then a year.
It's a lot to deal with,
you have to grow up fast.

As a child you're free,
as a teen you feel locked.
A child has no worries,
A teen has a lot.

You learn the meaning of love,
you discover broken hearts.
The worries of being accepted,
are the hardest part of all.

What's the ''best''
about these years.
When as a teen,
you live in fear.
