I'M Only Seventeen

I'm only seventeen but the pains that I've had could've took fifty years to build. I was abandoned as a child, and left all alone. Given to someone who doesn't really care. Then at eight I had my innocience taken away. But I'm only seventeen don't get me wrong. Then at fourteen I had my first love, but love is for suckas and that didn't go good. I got knocked up at sixteen and lost that right away, but I'm only seventeen don't get me wrong. Then I found a guy that I thought just might be right, but when I saw him at the movies that night, I knew nothing would turn out right. I'm only seventeen and I been through alot, I'm going through a court case right now, for rape of a child, but he was only fifteen and rape is not right. We were together and truth be told, I was told he was sixteen that night. So i'm only seventeen and i've gone through alot, but I'm only seventeen, who am I to say that it's alot.
