The Dangerous Syllable

Teen is a dangerous syllable

It takes you out to twenty

And off to every countable

Smoothly till eternity

Slow down when you say

Lots of changes are on the way

Fragile" three" no longer exists

Beware, a new scheme persists

"Four" has put on a new prospect

Independent, so you should respect

Five changed a lot for sure

Don't you see it is mature?

"Six" added a new sense

Self-reliance can now commence

Hurray! Red Carpet to "Seven"

Social rank is being given

Don't you go away!  Let's wait

And like the new look of "eight"

"Nine" is reaching a destination

Aware of every single situation

Now the world is wide

You can go outside

Hany Fouad/Bahrain

teenager

There is nothing to say about

He is teenager he is kind

Sometime quite or unsatisfied

He has got wide-eyed

He is easy but grumpy

Want to laugh or being prickly

Not mad but active jolly

He is quaint and being dizzy

He is active and getting noisy

He is asking he is nosy

I AM A MAN

I am a man

I am not a child, mum

see my muscles

see my bones

I know what's good

I know what's bad

let me chose my friend

let me build my world

I am a man

I am a man

please understand

and stop giving demand

Proud I'm ... By Younes Jaradat

                      Proud I'm

         I'm so proud "I'm a teenager"
        I'm so young but feel stronger
If I want in deed I can change the world
   Confidence for me is not just a word

                
                Don't treat me down
                   I will be so frown
                     Do not fool me
           Critically I think, you can see

 Wait! Of course, I'm not like you, teacher!
       As you know " I'm just a teenager."
        I need your wisdom and sagacity
              To slow down my temerity.

          …………………………… Younes Jaradat   

I'M A TEENAGER WHO NEEDS GUIDANCE, PLEASE.

I’M A TEENAGER WHO NEEDS GUIDANCE, PLEASE.

By Lamis Omoush

---

I’m trying to fulfill all my dreams.
Man or woman, so fast I want to grow.

And I wish I have privacy.

To all of you with all my respect,
Embrace me, I need your guidance.
End up all the confusion in me.
No one will understand,
All the things, my ups and downs.
Growing up is not easy,
Emotional or physical, dears.
Raging over being the boss, I always act.

Why, what, where and how,
Hold on me, I need to know.
One-way ticket my mind goes,

Not realizing it’s so wrong.
Easy to tell me, use my own way,
Encourage me without ordering.
Don’t think about your dos and don’ts.
School, home and friends, so much that goes around.

Guide me instead of shouting.
Understanding would be the policy,
If I were in your shoes.
Don’t ignore me, what I hide and what I show.
All the questions that go on my mind,
Need the answers you can kindly give.
Chance to change is bigger now,
Evolutions need centuries, be patient with me, I may be one.

Proud to be a part of this world.

Lonely, sometimes I depend on you.

Enthusiastic, please set me free.

Angry sometimes I come to feel,

Sensitive, please make it easy for me.

Energetic, so don’t hold me back.

I'm just a Teen

I'm just a Teen

By Maher Qabasi

TET Student

Jordan/ Aqaba

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

Teens Pain in Life

Teens pain in life,
is not to die, but to be ignored

To lose the person you love so
much to another who doesn't care at all

Teens pain in life, is not to die, but to be forgotten

When you show someone your innermost thoughts

and he laughs in your face

For friends to always be too busy to console you when you need
someone to lift your spirits

When it seems like the only person who cares about you, is you

Life is full of pain, but does it ever get better?

Will people ever care about each other, and make time for those who are in need?
Each of us has a part to play
in this great play we call life

Each of us has a duty to mankind
to tell our friends we love them

If you do not care about your friends
you will not be punished

You will simply be ignored... forgotten... as you have done to others
