I have learned to cope,
Because each day I must deal with dope,
Yet I am a teenager.
My parents are divorced,
And I must see him by force,
Yet I am a teenager.
I learn each day that people I know are wasting away,
I have to see this every day,
Yet I am a teenager.
Every weekend my friends go out and get drunk.
I tell them be careful because I know how they'll end up.
It was only an accident,
Except she was drunk.
I lie here dying,
Because of her mistake,
Yet I am a teenager--dead, not awake!
