Seventeen 2

I’m just seventeen 

I haven’t had a job 

Or my first love 

Mostly my heart throbs

With the emptiness I face

The love my friends share

All I’ve ever done is pray

To live without such care

They laugh and giggle 

I tried to go along 

But deep deep down 

I know I don’t belong 

They’re hearts wide open

Mine sealed shut tight

What I wish for 

I won’t get without a fight
