Only A Teen
"You're nothing special
You're just a teen
All you are good for is
Not cleaning your room
Not doing your homework
And talking back
Because you're only a teen
You're not a miracle worker
You can't turn water into wine
Heal the sick with your touch
Move oceans with your mind
No you're only a teen
You're not a magician
You can't produce money from your cap
Escape from locked chains
Cut a live woman in half
No you're only a teen
You're not a superhero
You can't stop a train with your fist
Fly higher than a bird
Run faster than the wind
No, you're only a teen
No, you'll never be an artist
a writer
a dancer
a public speaker
a president
a CEO
a designer
a teacher
a director
an actress
Because you're only a teen
Which means you'll never be a noble prize winner
be famous
be inspiring
be admired
be looked up to
be cared about
be loved
be good for something
Only a teen dear,
I don't expect much from you
Because you're only a teen."
I have to agree
I am only a teen
But you're wrong
I may not be a miracle worker
But I can bring hope
I may not be a magician
But I can lend a hand
I may not be a superhero
But I can chage the world
As for everything else
I'll just have to prove you wrong
