Analysis of Be normal and sain?



They say it's the age
 But what if I stop eating,
Start smoking, rib my leg or my hand
 What if I slowly or fast
Just exhaust myself?

What if I don't make it till tomorrow,
Till that date?
Dreams can't hold you
 Neither the demons in your head

What if I quit all this pressure
And try to live freely and happy life
Is that normal or the guilt will make me die And why not change the world
As every generation says
 With this pressure, how is the answer
there.

And if this phase is a life
 Or the end?
For you will mean something
That others never heard

They say no goals, no potential
But I wasted them all for one grade
Or for a nice compliment
Lose control, they never care.

No just a little phase, they'll say
But if you keep the straight A's
Why would you ever need help?
No, it's just a phase or a button in your head.

About this poem

This poem is coming deep from teenager thoughts and real situations . Our whole lives depend on how well someone will do as a teen, noone realizes the strangles of this age when you have this pressure from a whole universe. This is for every teen who just couldnt be enough for theirselves .
