~*~ 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.
