Seventeen.

In the blink of an eye,
Seventeen.
Seventeen.
Too young to know,
Too young to care.
Seventeen.
First fight with stress
First battle won.
Seventeen.
Emotions fly high.
Unattainable happiness floats above the head
Just out of reach.
Seventeen.
Goals are set,
Goals are changed,
Goals are lost,
Goals are failed.
Seventeen.
Marked discoveries mold the mind
Make you happy, make you blind
Make you lose your sense of fear
Make you ask why they aren't here.
Seventeen.
Seventeen.
Seventeen.
That defining moment,
Seventeen.
