Seventeen

I'm only seventeen

But I see couples left and right

I'm only seventeen 

But I'm constantly putting up a fight

Between myself and life

I'm only seventeen

Yet loneliness is a thing

I'm only seventeen

And I'm too tired to sing

About the "joys" and "love" that I see

I'm only seventeen

But I feel twenty and twelve

I'm only seventeen

Responsiblilities on the shelves

A few, that is

I'm only seventeen 

But I have a lot to write and say

I'm only seventeen 

My thinking expands too far in a day

It can hurt my brain 

And cause me pain

It goes on like heavy rain

But it stains

I'm only seventeen

But I have all these feelings 

I'm only seventeen

I need to pray because He's the only one hearing

Most of the time 

I'm only seventeen

I'm only seventeen

I am only seventeen

But my generation is depressed 

Stressed 

I'm only seventeen

But I listen to it all

I'm only seventeen

Gossip isn't that small

Like everything else

I'm only seventeen

I've been to the real world and back

Here is worse, now why is that?

I'm only seventeen

I'm not ready yet so ready

I'm only seventeen

Give me hell, be steady

But I know more than some "adults"

Quotations

Quotations

I can't stop using them as a revolt

I'm only seventeen

Not yet an adult

Only seventeen

That's all my class really knows how to say

"Where are your responsibilites?"

"Where is your head?"

"What is your purpose today?"

How would I know?

I mean- 

I'm only seventeen.
