Only Sixteen
Can you believe I’m only sixteen
Seeing the world so black and white
You ask what could I have seen?
Nothing. Just an endless night
That glass is half empty
That flower is wilting
There is death aplenty
And I’m just starting
There isn’t comfort in life
I’m a realist
Find peace quicker with a knife
Never an optimist
Laugh if you will
Just trying to spare you the pain
Hatred can only kill
Embrace the acid rain
Everything must die
Mothers cry
Fathers lie
And I just fly
