Too Old to be Young
I am a teen,
And as a child I am seen.
I am trapped by my age,
As if in a cage;
A cage of my years,
It can bring me to tears,
For no one can really see,
Who is really me.
They pretend to listen,
Though the point they are missing.
They pretend to understand,
But in the end they can't.
It is as if their minds
are truly deaf and blind,
For it's not really mysterious;
I just want to be taken serious.

Simon Cowell feedback--you asked for it!
"I am a teen
Why must I be seen
Like this;
trapped by my age
As if in a cage
of my years
Brining me to tears
Nobody ever cares to see
Who is really me
It's not that mysterious;
I just want to be taken serious."
Do you think those changes make it better, worse, the same but just different?
