The ticking of a clock is like waiting at the door for someone either
at school
at home
at work,
or even at a bar
I'm sixteen...
Sixteen not of age
Sixteen doesn't matter
Sixteen doesn't care
Sixteen is just number,
but sixteen is also feels scared.
Sixteen is me.
Sixteen is you.
You just destroyed me.
Me being sixteen.
Sixteen...is sixteen.
I'm at school waiting.
I'm at home waiting.
I'm at work waiting.
However, I can't go to a bar
but still sixteen is waiting—
Waiting to be turn a different number.
Because maybe then...
Maybe then....
Sixteen would be happy.
Sixteen wouldn't have anxiety.
Sixteen wouldn't feel the pain...
the torture of humanity.
The rumors....
the lies that are spread.
Sixteen wants to fight,
but always have a flight in inside their head.
Sixteen is me...
Sixteen is you.
And you?
You are killing me.
I hope you are pleased
