Not Yet 20

not yet 20 and his dreams have failed
not yet 20 and his skys have blackened
not yet 20 and he's already looking for "the one"
not yet 20 and he has more scars than you will know
not yet 20 and has cried more tears than its possible
not yet 20 and his heart is already broke
not yet 20 and his faith has been wounded
not yet 20 and he already see's the ugly side of life
not yet 20 and has already dreamed of death
not yet 20 and has already put knives to use
not yet 20 and his eyes are still shut
not yet 20 and still waiting...for a reason
not yet 20 and wants to know all the answers
not yet 20 mind is too open
not yet 20 and had no reason to go on
not yet 20 and feels its his time
not yet 20 and finds His last breath
not yet 20 and takes his own life
not yet 20 a teenage suicide...
