Thoughts Of A Teenager
by Angela Daugherty

I feel angry
at the world...
at myself

Why when I look
in the mirror
do I see me?

Why do I have
to look the way
I do?

I want to die now.

This world
and everone in it
hates me

I hate myself.

What? 
I know I'm special
and that you love me

Whatever.

Could we be any
less sincere?
Please...

I don't want to hear it.

I know my grades are slipping
and my attitude... 
well, it has changed

I don't care.

I need to see a doctor?
Right.  
Maybe tomorrow

I have things to do.

Why don't I just
jump off a bridge
right now?

You wouldn't mind.

Feed the dog...
cut the grass...
clean my room...

You do it.

I don't have time
to fool around
with all that

Study for my test...

Why? What's the point?
I'll fail it anyway
I don't have the time

Phone call?

Tell him I don't
want to talk to him...
I've got things to do

So what if I'm 
not eating?
I'm not hungry

Feed it to the dog.

No, I can't babysit
I have too much to do

Leave me alone.

I don't want to be bothered anymore...

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem because I wanted to express the emotions that some teenagers go through when they are put under a lot of stress.
