I get so caught up in trying to make it all beautiful. "These are your glory days, darling." Sixteen and full of potential energy. Flammable youth, some would say. What will I become? I'm in love and in debt with possibilities. My insides are soaked with prayers and... want. I'm tired of trying to be what I don't even think I want to be. what everyone else expects of me. I want to be free. Free from grades and the cliches. I'm sixteen! I'm supposed to be free! My life isn't even worthy of any label. I'm merely a reflection. Oh, God.
