When I was a teenager
I thought I'd know better
I thought I would grow into my awkwardness
I thought I'd impress
All the other people one day
And show I could learn to say
That I was loved and could love back
Yet trauma told me I'd always lack
The heart and gold of the world around me
Stuck and sitting in all of my vulnerability
Losing hope and by now
I thought I'd be better somehow
One day I'll learn
And yet I still yearn
For when I was a teenager
I didn't know I'd never know better.
