_{I'm too young to feel this way
To feel torn apart
Like I've lost my way

I'm too young to feel so hopeless
Like a bird astray
So, so restless

I'm too young to feel so tired of life
So worthless
I don't want to deal with strife

I am just a teenager
With seventeen years to my name
But I feel like a salvager
Collecting ashes after being set aflame

Aflame with what?
I do not know
A burning passion, a dream?
I think not

I'm too scared of fire
I'm a coward
A fear of desire
And what it will bring

I want to dance
I want to sing
I want to talk
I want to draw

It's not a roaring flame
But it's just as raw
Just as powerful

A steady simmer
A slow roast

It will stay inside
My apathetic ghost
Until I'm older
And ready to come outside}
