I have been a mother, caring for others
all while being a teenager.
I have been a lover with too much to give
I have been a fighter, getting too mad
all while being a teenager.
I have kept the peace and I have started wars,
I have instigated and I have pushed off the blame
all while being a teenager.
I have been the shy girl, with nothing but blush
I have been the life of the party, letting go too much
all while being a teenager.
I have been a loud mouth, spread many rumors
I have lied, mostly just to get my way
I have told the truth, so others would stay
I have been a friend, listening and helping
I have been an enemy, stealing and making mad
all while being a teenager.
I have been deeply depressed, threatening, cutting, and biting
I have been a counselor to my friends who have done the same
all while being a teenager.
I have been a good girl, holding down my skirt
I have been a bad girl, letting the wind blow it up
I have been a back talker, a smart ass, a ditz
I have been a Blond, a brunette, a red head
I have had too much attitude
all while being a teenager.
I have gotten straight A's, been a smart kid
I have gotten straight F's, just not caring to do the work
I have been a good citizen, volunteering with the old
I have been a law-breaker, with a little too much to drink
all while being a teenager.
I have been a wisher, siting by waiting for things to come
I have been a "go-getter", waiting for nothing for what I want
all while being a teenager.
I have been a singer, a lawyer, a dancer,
I have been a nurse, a doctor, and a cheerer
all while being a teenager.

I have been a Christian, myself I gave to God
all while being a teenager.
I have been an angel, treating everything like gold,
I have been a sinner, taking everything outside of morals
all while being a teenager.
I have been a witch, or a b*t c h
I have been stuck up, I have been down to earth
I have been conceited, I have looked down on myself
all while being a teenager.
I have gotten lost in my imagination, spent hours away
I have locked myself in dark corners, with an empty mind
I have been waiting for another day
I have whined for everyone's help, then turned down their advice
all while being a teenager.
I have been in love
I have been heart-broken
all while being a teenager.
We do more in this time of our life than any other,
Everyone's trying to grow up too fast,
but if you do that then you will not have learned
because you learn how to live
and what you want to be,
all while being a teenager.
