Being a kid is hard too
Being a kid is hard too, by Jordan Devane
Being a kid is hard too
Adults think that being a kid is so easy but it's not,
It's full of stress and anxiety
You're self conscious all the time even though everybody thinks your not
no matter what anyone tells you you will always be ugly
There is the stress of school and having to always be the best
you're always being put up against each other
You are compared by your smarts, your height, your status, and the letter on your test
No matter what you do you'll never be doing it right
Kids are mean, they always feel like they have to share their opinions.
They make fun of you for no reason at all
it's hard on you but no one truly cares
Your friends only care about themselves
Just like everybody else
adults think of you as just a kid.
NO ONE CARES ABOUT A STUPID KID!
I thought this part of your life was supposed to be easy
it's not, my eyes and head hurt, my mental health is spiraling out of control
My therapist doesn't understand me
honestly no one does
They don't care about me either
If they did care then they would know that I don't want to be here most days,
they would know that I can't sleep
They would know my smiles are fake
they would know that I'll never be smart enough
That I'll never be good enough
Pretty enough
Skinny enough
Popular enough
and they'd know I really don't want to think
They'd know Being a kid is hard too
