I am teen angst.
\nI wear this mass-produced Hot Topic T-shirt
\nAs a statement of individuality.
\nI spend time practicing drawing the anarchy symbol.
\nI don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know a lot about anarchy,
\nbut my circle-A looks perfect.<\/p>\n
I rebel because I like saying I rebel.
\nThe looks of shock and disgust are attention.
\nWe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got a losers table in the cafeteria,
\nYou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not invited.
\nNone of us really like each other.
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s easier for me to gross out all the girls,
\nScare them away forever,
\nThan to try and hold a conversation.<\/p>\n
If you offered me a deal,
\nWhere I traded in all my black shirts,
\nCut my hair and shaved,
\nAnd in exchange I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d have someone that cared about me\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d punch you dead in your shit.<\/p>\n
Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you understand?
\nI draw my feelings in close like a turtle,
\nAnd I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d rather die on my back,
\nThan give you the satisfaction
\nOf watching me awkwardly save myself.<\/p>\n
I am teen angst,
\nAnd I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t change my ways
\nUntil I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure nobody\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s watching anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
