Seventeen
Seventeen years.
Millions of tears.
Countless regrets.
Undeniable fears.
So many times
I've disappointed everyone.
So much, looking back now,
That I wish I'd never done.
The scars I bear upon my arm
Remind me that I'm torn.
I feel like I've been dying
Since the day that I was born.
I wouldn't even be here,
Were I brave enough to die.
I want, so bad, to leave this place
But I'm afraid and I don't know why.
To bleed, to cry, to fear, to try,
These things I've done. It's true.
I've given up on living
And it's all because of you.
Millions of tears.
Countless regrets.
Undeniable fears.
So many times
I've disappointed everyone.
So much, looking back now,
That I wish I'd never done.
The scars I bear upon my arm
Remind me that I'm torn.
I feel like I've been dying
Since the day that I was born.
I wouldn't even be here,
Were I brave enough to die.
I want, so bad, to leave this place
But I'm afraid and I don't know why.
To bleed, to cry, to fear, to try,
These things I've done. It's true.
I've given up on living
And it's all because of you.
