A chapter in the book My Life in words

Teenage Years.

by Jaq Cee



Kitchen door slams!

"You don't understand me!"

Tantrums and diva strop - angry tears.

"What's the problem, son? Calm down, don't shout."

Teenage years, drama-filled, angst-ridden.
Misunderstood, always.

Clattering dishes! How many broken?

Novel way to 'do' them.
My temper rising. Trying hard not to blow.

"What don't I understand, son?"

"Everything about me. You're too old to know."

"I was a teenager once."

"See! You don't understand."

Eyes roll. I walk away.
Teenagers should come with a health warning.

storm blows high
in angry outbursts
teenage years
