2016 feels rather old
And I'm feeling rather young
My age had went up
But experience? None
I'm still that 11 year old back in 2011
Crying over her ex best friend; ditched me at a school dance for the populars
I'm still that 12 year old back in 2012
Getting her first surgery
And dental procedure
I'm crying, I'm angry, I'm hurting, and I can't believe the world
I'm that 13 year old up in 2013
Trying to make friends and failing
I'm that destructive 14 year old in 2014
Meeting the night in tears and blood
I'm that 15 year old back in 2015
Who dreams of freedom from her family
And wants to finally be good enough
I'm that 16 year old in 2016
Wishing somebody would just ask her to prom
I'm the 17 year old in 2016 as well
Turned 17 in the summer
Unexperienced even so
Life drags me down everywhere I go
I'm a child still
Don't get the world
Yet want it so
Beg it to find me
But it just won't, no
2016 feels rather old
And 17 feels rather young
For all these things I haven't done
