Ode to my childhood

Baggy jeans, baggy shirts, big long chains Music no on listens to Remember what they said: Say no! be careful??of what? Hidden walls in forests spray paint cans by the ton, And smoking cigarettes Run, run way, be careful! You're not from here: Foreign kids, foreign language Equals strange, unwanted. But I had fun, and they??????ll never know?????? Confusion, they'll never know, Be happy, be fake They'll never know what you wanted, what you saw. Follow your heart, go home. Grow, change, grow, see, listen, Follow your heart, They'll never know

I rather like the first stanza, then it loses it's momentum.

I can't really relate to what is being put forth by this, so I don't really know what to say. Unusual overuse of question marks.
