I don't understand teenagers
I know I know, "but Katie, you ARE a teenager"
Yes and no
I feel like I'm not normal
People around me make bad choices
They put themselves out there
They get their hearts broken
They smile, laugh, cry, live
While I'm on the outside looking in
Content to stay on the sideline
Holding my heart in my hands
Waiting for the first friendly person to pass, and stop, and say hi
And this will be the person to ruin me
Should I build up my protections?
Or wait in anticipation
Maybe I'm not so different after all
