The Day of My Birth

I'm turning sixteen in June

Do  I know what I'm to do?

My head seems heated and fumed

My heart and shoes are too

My phobia of cars won't die

I'm terrified of a short ride

My habit of my constant lies

Can't find someone in which to confide

I feel my years as they grow short

My silly fears of what was before

My hands that shake for a protective fort

My eyes that yearn to block the world

My soul and mind still can't negotiate

Everything goes wrong with the choices I make

Everyone's issues, I cannot accommodate

The sky gets darker with every day I wake

But I will go on with all my sense of wonder

I will lift the rain and I will lift the thunder

I will make a reason to never be pulled under

I will resist the human's wish to tear me asunder
