text: Try a poem.\n\nHere's an example of a Teen Poem:\n\nGrowing Up\n© By Melissa S. Rawls\n\nLife is so easy\nwhen you are young.\nWhen kisses heal boo-boos\nand lullabies are sung.\nIt seemed that life could go on for years,\nas long as the nightlight was there\nto quiet our fears.\nWhy does growing up\nhave to be so hard?\nWhen did the world become\nbigger than our own back yard?\nThere is no more recess\nto stop the stress of the school day.\nThere are no more falling stars\nthat can take our worries away.\nDecisions are more complicated\nnow that we are grown,\nwhy cant we go back\nto when life was our own?
