I am only fourteen
I don’t intend any harm
I just want to be seen
So I turn on the charm
I don’t intend any harm
It’s attention I seek
So I turn on the charm
Play it cool and sweet
It’s attention I seek
Recklessness adds to the fun
Play it cool and sweet
Watch it come undone
Recklessness adds to the fun
I just want to be seen
Watch it come undone
I am only fourteen

For me, this pantoum captures the essence of teenage innocence and yearning for attention with a poignant honesty… Delightful!

Jennifer I absolutely love this. It is so honest and so true to what a fourteen year old can be like. I love the element of risk and daring in this. I love also that you don’t mean any harm. Wonderful
