• Teenagers are amazing,
    I wish the world could see,
    How beautiful we are,
    How compassionate we can be.

    I wish they could take back,
    All the cynical things they’ve said,
    And see how much we shine,
    Be positive instead.

    Remark on all radiant smiles,
    And the differences we make,
    All of the people our lives touch,
    All of the chances that we take.

    Notice how we change,
    Each and every day,
    Wanting to leave childhood,
    Yet desperately wanting to stay.

    I wish they could remember,
    How tough our lives could be,
    They were all there too,
    They have seen what we see.

    Yet we still venture onward,
    Unsure of where the road may lead,
    Hoping they will notice,
    Hoping they’ll take heed,

    Of the changes that we’ve made,
    Of the power that we hold,
    Of the wisdom that we’ve hidden,
    Of the stories yet untold.

    I hope the world will notice,
    What some have already seen,
    Teenagers are amazing people,
    Striving to follow their dreams.
