I'm just a Teen

I'm just a Teen

I'm just a teen

I'm not a man

I'm not a child

Do you understand

You see me unkempt

I think I'm polite

Looking all around

Making me so sad

No one can get me

Or even tried

They make me crazy

They make me mad

Mother, sister, brother and my dad

All are asking

Why doing this

Why doing that

All can see me thin or fat

Never take a look

To see me inside

I leave them there to see you here

The teacher sees me

slouched on my chair

He looks at my clothes

He looks at my hair

He thinks I'm lethargic

In fact I do care
