How hard would it be
For a teenager like me
To live in the world full of judgement
Leaving no positive nor good comments
Irresponsible as we are
Known by the public
As we stood and face our critics
All we want is to be free
Like birds as they fly and flee
To show our capabilities
In this world full of difficulties
We want to discover ourselves
And be out of our shells
We have minds of our own
And can react on actions you’ve shown
Try to understand every single thing
For that you may know everything
Time, patience, we give you
For you to see how true
That teen agers have value
And they are willing to show I to you
Jerome Catigbe Poetry
