I have always believed
That being a teenage girl
Would make life enchanting.
I'd have a group of friends
Who I would hang out with
Constantly.

We'd go out to the places,
Sleepovers at each other's house,
Talk about boys,
And give each other makeovers.
We'd cry about our breakups
And gush over our crushes.
Complain about our grades
And laugh at each other's jokes.
I guess that was my idea
Of the teenage girlhood
I've wanted my entire life.
Sadly, that's not how my girlhood
Turned out
To be.
