The Teenage Mind

F O U R T E E N

Have you ever thought

That you know someone

You know every fight they've fought

And everything they've done

You know every sport they played

And everything they hate

You know all the times they cried

And the times they wish they died

You know how they like purple

And how they want a turtle

You know every rule they broke

And all the times they didn't show

You know every class they skipped

And told the teacher they're on a trip

But you never dared to tell

Them all the times you fell

The days they didn't see you cry

The times you wish you'd just die

They don't know that you hate

This world, this life, this way

The countless times you were mad

The numerous times you were sad

The infinite times you felt bad

And the mere handful of times you were glad

What makes you think, that you know them so well

When you have your own secrets, you'd never dare tell
