Teenage 'Dream'

I feel nothing,
the emptiness overcame,
oh my body still works,
but not heart nor brain.
Words are said,
in one ear out the next,
oh life is hard,
but I'm up for the test.
My sad turned to rage,
my hope turned to fear,
this generation isn't good,
but he said I love you my dear.
He makes me happy,
but I try to decline,
how I feel for him,
oh feelings hide inside.
