Somewhere in the Middle?

It is the time we're growing up. A journey lies ahead for all teenagers today.
A journey to adulthood, our youth to kiss away.
But as we go we find ourselves
At a truly awkward stage.
We're partial, unripe, sketchy and crude at this tender age.

We're old enough to make a choice. We can choose to be what you want to be.
Yet still young in many ways.
Too young to pack our bags and go. Too old to want to stay.

We're young enough for fun and games,
too old for carefree lives.
Young enough for hopes and dreams,
yet for reality we strive.

Old enough for heartfelt pain,
too young to find the cure.
Too old for childish ways of past,
too young to be mature.

Old enough to fall in love when we're teenager and give our hearts away.
But, still too young to understand..,just why we feel this way.

We're trusted, loyal, proud and true
yet scolded, sneered and scorned.
Between the role of adult and child,
we are somewhere torn.

Like an uncompleted work at art,
we're awkward, unsure, half-baked.
But be patient please for we're on our way to becoming something great.
