Fifteen Is

Fifteen Is Fifteen is being lost in this maze called life Not knowing where to go or how to get there Unable to see around the corner But knowing somebody is waiting to scare us Fifteen is trying to find ourselves in a world full of darkness Grasping at the light that we cannot see but so desperately need Trying to figure out who we are When there are so many voices telling us what we should be Fifteen is stumbling blindly through the storm of life Unable to see through the fog swirling around us Not knowing if our next step will be safe Or if we will stumble upon the corpse of the past Fifteen is not knowing if the surrounding water is trying to drown or cleanse us Unable to hear the truth through the cacophony of voices that surround us Not knowing what voices to trust and listen to Trying not to let our fear of what comes next consume us Fifteen is just the beginning of our scary lives Everything begins to matter now The decisions we make today can affect us for the rest of our lives One wrong step and our whole world could crumble Fifteen is knowing that we have to fall before we can fly For if we don’t jump or if we don’t fly surely we won’t survive But there’s a wolf at the bottom waiting for us to drop We are all birds too scared to take flight
