Why My World Is So
Complicated?
I wake up early in the morning before the birds
Dressed to kill to impress my fellows and you know who else
I do my hair, look at myself in the mirror for ages
Until I feel now I am ready to race’em
My mom comes into my room so shocked
To find everything is upside down
Going to school walking like a peacock
In the hall,
Singing my favorite song to me and to all
During breaks I sit with my colleges
To talk about what’s been on TV
Gossip, fight, tease, laugh, and play
The fun is endless and love has got its own space
When the bell rings and the class starts
You see the seven wanders and more perhaps
Some send romantic letters and fold them like kites
Some gossip, giggle, do manicure
And what’s even worse when you see
two at the back rows
Playing soft ball with their own socks!
Miss spoiled pretends to faint
When she notices that the one she likes
is winking to another
face
All that begins once the teacher turns back
to write on the board
I feel so happy when I talk to the one I admire
He is handsome, awesome, and got it all
We have fun together
and feel blessed
But jealous girls declare to start the war
Pretend angels to get what they want
I comfort myself and say never mind
When they see me they tell me
You don’t deserve what you have
I reply and say thank you
for making me the center of your life
Every day I patiently wait for a text message
from him and read it twice and thrice all night
Always connected to facebook checking my profile
It seems foolish but I do it anyways
My parents are always nagging
You never study well! always daydreaming
Wasting time chatting with your friends
Hanging around, begging us to go on school trips
But when I get an A or B
They smile and hug me and yell yuppie
Still wondering why they keep complain
They say what have you done to your beautiful hair?
your new haircut is like Rihanna’s
Are you insane! You dress like crazy,
Dance like crazy! Uhh what happened
To our lovely daughter, is she under a spell?
I say no I’m still your daughter you’ve ever known
I am just trying to figure out my identity
Is it something wrong?
Daddy had the Beatles style
when he was my age,
remember?
and Mommy, you were so fond
of the fashion trends
when you were my age, remember?
They yell at me and accused undisciplined
Oh my Lord! Help me! What can I do?
I just fight for my right
And it always goes like that when I do so
Why my world is so complicated ?
When you are peopl’s fan
you feel like million dollars
but when I woke up that morning
And saw what I saw in the mirror
I began to scream
I got on my knees crying, sobbing
My parents came rushing
what’s the matter?
I said I would never
go to school again
Look what happened!
This acne ruined my
face
Oh! Somebody kill me please
Why my world is so complicated?
I imagine myself the hero
of every cartoon
Oscar, Sally, even Captain Majed
I watch movies, imitate my favorite celebrities
I sing karaoke although my voice is not that good
I get the mike and
hit it so I feel good
My parents as usual don’t like it
Telling me stop what you’re doing
Do you call that singing!
Why my world is so complicated ?
Disappointing world
All what I need is more independence
And less control
I’ m no longer a child
Am I asking for the impossible?
Mom, Dad! I apologize for the inconvenient
I want you to listen to me
Understand me
Let’s sit on the round table and be friends
Because I don’t want my world to be so complicated anymore
