Sixteen but I feel twenty two.
Trying to grow up.
Trying to live my own life.
It's hard to be young, treated like a child but, expected to be an adult.
Told to be an individual but stuck in societies boundaries.
Rebellion at it's finest.
Sex.Drugs.Good music.
That's all that I know now.
Trying to be successful, but never quite there.
Happy, Sad, numb.
Now knowing what will come next.
Sixteen but I feel twenty two.
