~*~
Teenager
Within
Me ~*~
My
teenager
has just
up and
run
away.
And, yes
I really
wanted
her to
stay.
She was
able to
fill my
day with
delight
And make
all that
was
wrong
feel
right.
Yes, my
teenager
has fled
from
home,
Leaving
me sad
and
feeling
so
alone.
With her
presence
I could
dance
and
sing,
For only
happiness
to me
would
she
bring.
Now she
is gone
and I
know not
where.
About my
life I
no
longer
seem to
care.
When she
was here
I'd
laugh
every
day.
Just
having
her
around
brought
joy my
way.
How can
I
survive
without
this
young
girl,
For she
kept my
life in
a
constant
whirl.
No
worries
or
troubles
to
suffer
through.
Life
with her
held
such
fun,
that's
true.
But, I
had
little
to offer
a
teenage
child.
She
needed
to be
free and
a little
wild.
So it
was
impossible
for me,
you see,
To keep
a
teenager
hidden
deep
within
me.
Now I
must act
as a
grownup
should,
Stop all
my
dreaming
(if only
I
could),
For it
was this
teenager
deep
within
me
That
kept my
spirit
feeling
young
and
free.
Yes, it
is time
for me
to act
my age,
For
lifes
book has
turned
another
page.
With a
wave of
my hand
I'll bid
her
goodbye.
Then I
will
just sit
and have
a good
cry.
