Like every teenager who ever breathed air
I was offered advice but I didn’t care
If it made sense
It gave me offense
I knew all- hope you didn’t waste your air
Now that these many years have gone past
Of that advice I now know at last
That had I considered
I wouldn’t be as hindered
By results of mistakes I’ve amassed

they will never ever listen….
That’s an excellent take on the prompt. I like the way that you’ve put it in a poem and that you’ve used the teenager’s angle.
Thank you!
