THE TEENAGER’S VOICE
I am a teenager
Not a household manager
My education I want
To be better
So as to aim higher
To become a record breaker
And a human capacity builder
Oh my bearers
For a matrimonial task
My age cannot consider
Pardon me to stay some longer
For my consent
To be mature
And get broader
My positive impacts of life
I want to be wider
My dad
Why are you eager and bothered
And want to make me a loser?
Why do you so quickly
Advertise me to bidders?
They are deceivers
My destiny
I want to be the shaper.
