Fairy pictureYour work

A Teenager
by Omar, age 13

Being a teenager was something really bad

With my parents I was always sad

I didn’t like mum or dad

Out of the house I was always glad

I really drove them nuts and mad

At that time I thought my friends were cool

To be honest with my parents I was cruel

At last I realized that I was nothing but a big fool

Even I hated them when I was young

And I always teased them with my tongue

When they shouted at me I carelessly sung

Then when I was married and I had a son

Since he was born I have missed the word fun

The I realized that my parents were good

Being nice to them I really should

Then when I visited them I found them in a grave

And I remembered how much

in raising me they were brave

So I got nothing but to regret

And keep my son out of bad people’s net
