I Am 16 Years Old

I am 6 years old,

The stars would glisten,

The dark nights were cold,

My mom's stories I would listen.

I am 8 years old

Tons of fun I had,

But Dad knew I was cold,

His jacket made me glad.

I am 10 years old, 

That morning I was alone

For I was untold, 

'"Where did Dad go?"

I am 12 years old

Crying everyday,

Wondering if I was being trolled,

Two years ago, it didn't happen, no way.

I am 14 years old,

New school, new name

My heart is ice-cold

I couldn't tell others, for I was ashamed.

I am now 16 years old,

The stars are still bright,

The summers are cold,

"I can't bring him back, but I'm alright."
