It's a good thing most people bleed on the inside or this would be one, gory, blood-smeared earth. That would practically explain myself.
A silent girl with deep unspoken words.
I'd never thought being a teenager is roughly painful. Well, in my case it is.
Teens that I see in chick flick movies were all having fun about their life. Don't they have any parents? Or they don't care about them anymore?
All I can see in real life is that teens always party at night. Smoke vape. Drink alcohol. Make out with strangers.
Am I blinded by what I saw in shows and movies?
I thought teenage life would be exciting. I was wrong. I got horrified just thinking about the reality of what world I am belonging to.
I am partly somebody else trying to fit in to the crowd. I say the right things and do the right thing. Be in the right place but wears what everybody else is wearing. Sometimes I do what I see people do for me to fit in.
Sometimes I think we're all trying to be shadows of each other, trying to copy everything that we see even if we don't like them.
The important thing is to fit in or else your life will be miserable.
But I always thought of something different. Besides, I'm only one small part of this aching humanity.
If I would not be their shadow and stand by my ownself, would that be a big deal? Perhaps not, right?
Maybe the new "me" will be cool.
The only one that I am concerned of is the fear of the unknown. Will they judge me?
Oh no.
Perhaps there would be bullies.
I also conclude that there are people who will stand above me and just throw me away.
You know, when people know they're superior, they'll not mind of the people who they know that are below them. Instead, they'll cope up with their pride and continue to stab people's feelings.
Innocence, in my opinion, is not needed for you to survive as a teenager. If you'll show that you're kind and all, they'll break you.
You'll not realize it at first.
You'll just see yourself in the mirror looking shattered and bruised.
Come to think of it, is this what life has to offer for us?
To become lame and miserable?
This isn't right. I observed that most people in this human race just follows the popular trend. Why not go for their own trend?
We have a wide mindset.
Explore.
Experiment.
We must stop being the shadows of each other.
