Once upon a time

As a young little tyke

You were eager to live

Always riding your bike

Around town, saying hello to all

Aware of No-ones needs

But your own

Now here you are

Sweet sixteen

Only everything isn't so sweet

You don't feel like a queen

Everyone's always saying your life's about to start

You'll really take off in college

But you don't want to go to college

You don't like school

Don't like people

Always hearing how lucky you are

And how amazing it is to be 16

But you don't feel amazing

You feel bad

Really really bad

You feel sad

Really really sad

You feel empty

All the time

And you're aware of everyone's needs

But your own
