Teenage Complication Poem by Princess Bernadette Anillo

TEEN:
Formal occasions can be a boring time
I’d rather stay at home and drink a drunken wine
School’s just boring and a non-sense
I'll just throw my books and jump the fence

PARENT:
Why would you do things violent to do?
Education is the way to make your dreams come true
Formality is neutrality and makes you have friends
Makes you updated in the world and its trends

TEEN:
Why do we still have education to fulfill my goals?
My dream is to have fun and get all the roles
Nothing to be computed calculated and memorized
Leisure is just around me, all in my eyes

PARENT:
If you're happy with all that you see
Why wouldn’t you love this learning activity?
You wouldn't be really happy, I’ll prove to you!
Life wouldn't be complete without knowledge in you!

TEEN:
Life wouldn't be complete with fun, music and friends
The lights of the cars on the streets don’t ends!
If you are funny and happy you'll float as high
You wouldn't cry a tear that'll dropp in your eye

PARENT:
You teenagers are really irritating!
Nothing to understand in the middle of anything
All you think is fun on the streets in the night
Breaking laws of your land which are not right

TEEN:
Did you just say broke the rule?
Was being happy against the suggested cure?
You elders don't understand the Hip
You just talk and talk and never stop your lips!

PARENT:
If I wouldn't be talking and talking and talking
You would not understand the life in heaven
You wouldn't imagine how much fun is it in there
More than you can imagine and the 'hip' that you care

TEEN:
I wouldn't argue to you for now
I’ll take time reading a book for now
I'll tell you tomorrow the results of my thinking'
I'll be ready of my judgment day to heaven

PARENT:
Why do you want to leave it all for know
Why don't you start acting formally somehow?
I care for you know that from the start
Did you really listen when I was talking aloud?

TEEN:
I' m tired of the changes I've gone through my life!
It is really hard and it isn’t just right!
I'm contented with me now and nothing to change
I live for myself and no others to blame












PARENT:
Did you really see my point of view! ?
All of us is living for everybody so as you
You'll realize soon how contented you may be
If you live your life for others and not for you only!

TEEN:
Why would I care for others like you?
That didn't understand the things I want to do?
Would it be right it's weird for me to knew
That my parent is the one who is forcing me to do

PARENT:
Why are your minds turning upside-down! ?
Instead of giving me a smile, like a clown!
I care for you and I want you to grow up!
I want to settle your future and you'll stand up!

TEEN:
I can stand up! Can't you see!
I can handle things up! I'm not anymore a baby
Life goes on! But I don't want to change
I want to be youth forever and never change my age

PARENT:
Would that be possible? Do you think?
That those things are possible in just a wink!
You have to be mature and you have to act right
You'll soon find out the importance of light!

TEEN:
Why does it all have to be soon! ?
I have to be an adult first before I do this stuff?
I love being a teenager for once and for all
I don't want to have responsibilities and be so tall!

PARENT:
See, you now said what you don't want to be!
You don't any jobs and responsibility!
How can you live life without being happy?
If you won't take charge of your responsibility
