An angsty post.


Teen angst is staring at a wall,
hoping it will understand you.
It doesn't. 
It's a wall.

Teen angst is crying
when your mom
forgets to buy your grape juice.

Teen angst is blowing up 
when your brother whistles
(off-key)
incessantly.

Teen angst is the name of an M83 song.

Teen angst is feeling alone
at your own birthday party.

Teen angst is knowing you're better
without him,
but wanting him back
anyway.

Teen angst is not praying 
for the past month or so
because God doesn't want
to hear your excuses.

Teen angst is knowing others are worse off
and not caring.

Teen angst is my life.
Teen angst is my adolescence.

Sorry
if
i'm 
a
bitch.

Blame
it
on
the
angst.

  2. Can't stop re-reading. Added to my favorites. The bottom half is sheer genius. "because God doesn't want to hear your excuses"
