Age of Sorrow

by Gabe Zamora

Teenager.
The age of sorrow

We cry and we mope,
All trying to cope,
My sad sad sonnets,
My chained free verses.

Striving for affection,
Starving for attention,
Currents of convection,
What a beautiful sight.

Sweaty palms,
Perspiration,
Voice cracks,
Puberty at its utmost finest.

Ages 13 through 18,
A game we all play,
Someday or another,
We all go through the angst.

It is knowing and not understanding
Teenager.

I truly think being a teenager is more difficult now than it was back in my day. At least, it LOOKS more difficult to me, watching my own. This is awesome!!!
