The thirteenth year of life
I guess it was okay
Now to much pain nor strife
Just living through the day
Now at age fourteen
Life was great
Living up peachy keen
I even had my first date
Fifteen years old
And the misery begins
I watched the pain unfold
With the realization that nobody wins
Sixteen now
And full of cuts
My mother said wow
Your fucking nuts
The seventeenth year
You came into my life
Just to know you were here
Made me put down the knife
Eighteen has finally come
And I'm ready to be free
To guzzle down the rum
And learn how to be me
Nineteen is here
Full of rage
The end is near
Just a turn of the page
Teenage life
And this is it
Hormones and strife
Just not giving a shit

Simply stated but true to life. I believe my "misery" began at age 15 as well.
Some grammar corrections:
Line 3: "Now to much pain nor strife"
-->Possibly "Not too much pain nor strife"?
Line 16: "Your fucking nuts"
-->"You're fucking nuts"

Being 17 right now, I can say that you basically hit the nail on the head. Not saying every teen drinks and cutss, but every teen fucks up a little, teenage years are about making mistakes.
