Vandalised by spite and hate
Raped dead, it’s just fate
Drunken parties, polluted with booze
You’ve heard it all in the daily news
Deaf and blind, they’ve felt no pain
Yet live to die, woe they feign
Cutting wrists, innocence lost
Countless lives drinking has cost
Why can’t they just open their eyes
See the world as it is, behind all the lies?
But have you yet heard the story of a teen
Heard what life could truly mean
Just see it in their eyes
Walking the bridge of life itself
Crossed childhood, put it on the shelf
The promise of day, it’s soon to be
The people of tomorrow, can’t you see…
See it in the eyes of a teen
Reach up, just touch the sky
Don’t want to fall, it’s you who’d cry
A new horizon, it’s soon to be
Thoughts of a teen- why can’t you see…
Just see it in the eyes of a teen
Violence in the streets, cursed lips
Innocence you sorely miss
Yesterday you saw them waddle
Tonight they took pills from a bottle
Haunted, they’re drained hollow
Have no path, no road to follow
Thought they cared, but you’re wrong
They’ve fooled you for far too long
But why do you have this impression
That we're all the same, it's a misconception
Why don't you see this vision that we have
Of life to be
Love to be
Hope to be...?
Walking the bridge of life itself
Crossed childhood, put it on the shelf
The promise of day, it’s soon to be
The people of tomorrow, can’t you see
See it in the eyes of a teen
Reach up, just touch the sky
Don’t want to fall, it’s you who’d cry
A new horizon, it’s soon to be
Thoughts of a teen- why can’t you see…
Just see it in the eyes of a teen

| i like the repetition, and the fact that you used the eyes as the focus gives the poem a sense of hope and loss of innocence...i like it. |
