At sixteen years old
The world’s waiting to unfold
But when you lose someone that means so close
You no longer know what means the most

Is it time to hide and cry
Or is it time to smile and try
They say it’s okay to hurt
But you still need to stay alert

Who says when I can cry
Or when I can fly
People think they know what’s best
But they don’t always fit in with the rest

We each are different
And magnificent
No one tells me when to smile
Or when I’ve cried for a while

At sixteen years old
The world’s waiting to unfold
But when you lose someone that means so close
You no longer know what means the most
