Just Because I laugh, doesn't mean I'm happy.

Just because I say I'm having a wonderful day, doesn't mean I'm feeling great.

Just because I ignore what people say, doesn't mean my heart doesn't ache.

Just because I walk with my head held high, doesn't mean I don't regret the sins I've made.

Just because you assumed my life was perfect, doesn't mean I haven't experienced trials and tribulations.

Just because I'm young, doesn't mean I haven't learned from my past mistakes.

Just because I am a teenager, gives me every reason to stay strong and have faith.
