people say I'm lucky to be seventeen. because back then they were all young and lean. people say at the ripe age of seventeen. well they felt like they had everything. all was good. because things just should. but do you remember being seventeen? it feels like a movie scene. we laugh, we cry. sometimes we just want to die. we want room to breathe. but everybody wants to make us seethe. it gets really tough. so we try to act rough. oh seventeen. stop acting mature, stop being so keen. seventeen.

i wrote this when i was sixteen and realized that the older we get, the more focused on the self we can become. i don't want to regret, i want to live and that's why i wrote this piece.
