I'm a Teen.
I look at other girls and Glow green.
Homework's a complete nightmare
I see models and can't help but compare
We have talks about mental health in school.
The teachers look like a complete fool
"Go on a walk, it will help with the feels!"
It doesn't help the fact that I'm skipping meals
Why do they think our feelings are just lies?
"I'm depressed" I say as I'm greeted with a roll of their eyes.
"I've got a headache" complains the professor,
Yet they don't consider how we feel being under all this pressure?
Assignment upon Assignment
Juggling homework like I'm doing acrobatics
But of course Mental Health days off school are
"Just you being dramatic"
The things Adults say and do
I swear I could make a list
And they still wonder
Why the red covers my wrists?
I'm not Okay
Sometimes I don't want to be alive anymore.
But, I'm just a teen.
So my feelings are ignored.
