Early in the morning,
Nothing else to do.
Say a prayer then leave the house,
Off to find an adventure.
First downtown to see a flick,
Some movie about aliens.
Then I go to the coffee house,
To listen to some of my friends.
I drive around the city,
I look at all the buildings.
I see everyone walking around,
And I see my fellow people.
They see me as a reckless,
A teenage roughein, a hoodlum.
I see them as stern and strict,
A bunch of old ancients.
I go back home and watch some TV,
I surf the web as I listen to some music.
I talk on the phone, I read a book,
I make a date with some of my friends.
Out a long time with people I like,
I get home late, tired and spent.
I get yelled at for being so late, but I don't care,
I'm just a teen with no worries to think of yet.
