The teen girl

I felt like Aliya in sweet sixteen by Balaji Abdullahi. " Grace, did you feel anything? I mean when you turned sixteen, did you like feel different in any way?"

"No. It was still like 14 or 15. Couldn't feel any difference.

"Oh my god, dear Natty's Diary, what do you think I wanna feel on my 16th birthday? I don't even know.

Well to some extent, I felt like a Young adult but I was sad and I found myself writing poems and it goes this way;

The Teen Girl

The most beautiful girl in the room

Her smiles are always charming

But behind those smiles

There are secret tears drying her up

Even her besties can't identify those tear.

She feels like an island

She feels like a princess locked in a castle

She feels like Marc Anthony

she wants to be free

From nagging and yelling

The teen girl

Dear lord help her

She needs your secret place

She needs a well padded shoulder to lie and cry on

She needs a hug

And she needs it directly from God

When I was done I was like wow I wrote a poem...
