All Of My Poems/Songs

Seventeen

One step forward, five steps back
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off
Hold your head high and your finger higher
The doors closing, gotta hold it open and get through

Every mistake you think that holds you back?
Let it push you to run, run hard and never forget
Don't forget the memories you've made
Don't forget the people that intoxicated you

The loves that grew from a small ember to bright flame
The friendships that were stronger than laws made today
The lessons that are marked into your body
The roughness of every choice that's made you

Oh sweet little bird, you're so young
You want to learn how to fly
You've seen many try and fall
You've seen many try and soar high

You want a taste of that burning honey
You want to feel the dying thrill
You want to see dead come back to life
You want to hear the gasp of surprise from a madman that's living
