Medium Poems

The In-Between

I’m somewhere in the middle,
Not a child but not quite grown.
Navigating this awkward phase,
Where I feel both lost and known.

I long for independence,
Yet still rely on those around me.
Trying to find my own path,
While still being who they want me to be.

It’s a strange and scary time,
But one that must be faced.
Learning who I am and who I want to be,
In this in-between teenage space.

Ups and Downs

Being a teenager is a ride,
Full of twists and turns.
The ups can be so thrilling,
But the downs can leave you burned.

One day you feel on top of the world,
The next, nothing seems to go your way.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed,
Like you’ve been led astray.

But remember, life is a journey,
And it’s not always smooth sailing.
Just hold on tight, and through the bumps,
You’ll find your strength unveiling.

So embrace the ups and downs,
And learn from every bend.
Because being a teenager is tough,
But it’s also an adventure that never ends.

Long Poems

The Journey of a Teenager

I am young, I am free
I am exploring what it means to be
A teenager in this world of endless possibility

I am testing limits, pushing boundaries
Finding my way, facing challenges
My heart is full of dreams, hopes, and aspirations
And yet, at times, I feel overwhelmed by expectations

The pressure to fit in, to belong, to conform
To be perfect, popular, and perform
Is often too much for me to bear
And I struggle to find my way, to figure out what to wear

But deep down, I know that I am strong
That I can overcome any obstacle, any wrong
For I am not just a teenager, but a warrior
Ready to face whatever comes my way, with vigor

I am learning to embrace my unique identity
To celebrate my quirks, my flaws, my creativity
To stand up for what I believe in, to make a difference
To challenge the status quo, to break down intolerance

For the journey of a teenager is not just about grades, trends, or popularity
It’s about finding oneself, shaping one’s identity, developing one’s individuality
It’s about gaining self-awareness, self-respect, and self-love
And becoming the best version of oneself, with grace from above

So let us not judge or stereotype, let us not minimize or criticize
For we were all once teenagers, navigating our own path, our own demise
Let us lend a helping hand, a listening ear, a kind word or two
For there is beauty, potential, and greatness in every teenager, even you.

The Turmoil of Adolescence

I am a teenager, with no clear aim
Caught in the middle of a turbulent game
In this journey, I am pushed and pulled
By forces external as well as bold

My peers and elders, they all demand
That I be well-behaved, diligent and grand
On the other hand, my own desires
Are fiercely burning with raging fires

New emotions emerge every day
And old ones fade away in dismay
I laugh one moment, and the next I cry
I’m confused about who I really am inside

The slightest things now make me feel
Strong emotions that are all too real
Things that used to pass me by
Seem to affect me now, I don’t know why

My body changes in ways I can’t explain
No longer is it the same, it seems insane
My voice no longer sounds like it once did
I feel like a stranger in my own skin

I sometimes feel like I’m all alone
Even though my friends are just a phone call tone
I put on a brave face, but inside I’m scared
I wish someone could just show they cared

With all these changes, I’m unsure of myself
I’m searching for a path, for something else
I’m trying to find meaning in this life of mine
While still hanging on to who I was at nine

But as tough as it may be, I believe
That this journey will lead me to perceive
A world that’s full of hope and possibility
Where I can be myself and explore my identity

So I’ll keep on walking, keep on striving
To make the most of this time of surviving
And when I look back at my teenage years
I’ll see it wasn’t all about the tears and fears
