Age 16


She's 16 

Shes broken 

her young mind is hopeless

She wants to feel free but the thoughts she has are bogus 

Like does she know one day she'll be free 

But she's always unhappy so her mind won't let her be 

She cries every night cause things wont change 

Maybe she cuts herself to get rid of some pain 

She hates being alone she knows what she'll do 

But she has no other friends because no one is true 

She's left all aone with those sucidal thoughts 

She gets lectured all the time about how "Everybody Talks" 

But the pain is too deep, she's not coming out 

She wants to be free but shes so filled with doubt

Doubt the things in this world will never change

With the same intellect that this is all just a game

While the others around her keep drowning her name

Shes left all alone one day just to die.

She forgot about that one angel in the sky

The one that can save her from anything

But she keeps forgetting shes only 16.
