Teenage Years

Thirteen, met a boy
Thought he was the first true love of my life
Joy, pain, time after time
Crash, burn, years wasted

Fourteen, into horses
Got my first job, loved it blindly
Still adored the boy
That broke my heart over and over again

Fifteen, life's a mess
Suicide thoughts
Over life's regrets
Met a new boy...

Sixteen, head over heels
This boy mended my broken heart
Same old job
Sucks ass

Seventeen, fighting with mom
Day after day new rage
Struggling to break free
Wrists bloodied by the chains that bind them

Eighteen, what the hell
Would she say if she only knew
How I really spent my weekends
This is my life

What will come of nineteen
Another year
Another massacre
Shit faced on the floor
Better take that birth control
The world's changing rapidly
I'm living in poverty
Mother's very sick
Father's been gone for a long time
This picture is sick, and twisted
A distorted reality of the American dream
And all I have to hold on to
Is my only true love
What insanely beautiful teenage years
