Hormones and rhyming dictionaries seem to go together. Let's celebrate this by publishing the poems you wrote as a teenager.

Not sure if this counts as poetry, but I did write a song in one particularly depressed moment. Its not very good. So, without further ado, I give you Always Something Else.
Life is never easy
As it goes on day by day
Often never good enough
And the good bits never stay
And people often tell me
They are right and I am wrong
But if they only knew me
They’d know why my cheer has gone
And I know, yes I know
But nothing’s ever easy
There’s always something else
Causing troubles on the way
Yeah I know, oh I know
That time stands still for no man
There’s always something else
I should really, really say
Have you ever noticed
How the stretch of life drags on
What once did seem a simple task
Becomes a complex one
You’d think that with experience
Everything would be OK
Problems come and problems go
But they never go away
And I know, yes I know
But nothing’s ever easy
There’s always something else
Causing problems on the way
Yeah I know, oh I know
That time stands still for no man
There’s always something else
I should really, really say
**Instrumental**
Things that come between us
Can tear us both apart
Is it worth repairing
What will only break our hearts?
Oh I know what I know
Nothing can ever change that
But there’s always something else
Always something else
To take my joy away.
Cripes. And that was only last year.
