She wonders why everyone's so hard on her,
Why people always flip their lid.
She can make mistakes every now and then,
After all, she's just a kid.

She wonders why she's so afraid,
Why she crawled under the covers and hid.
But there are a lot of monsters in this world,
And after all, she's just a kid.

She wonders why she doesn't feel pretty.
And why there's so much that mom and dad forbid.
She thinks a little makeup wouldn't hurt,
After all, she's just a kid.

She wonders why she's not like the others,
Wonders if she fell off the grid.
They tell her uncertainty is normal.
After all, she's just a kid.
I think this poem can resonate with teenagers. Because on one hand, everyone tells you to be mature and grow up. But on the other hand, everyone is saying don't grow up too fast and act your age.
