Sixteen Ain't Sweet

[desertions]

I was reflecting on my sixteenth birthday (which was today) and this poem/song thingie kinda wrote itself

Sixteen Ain’t Sweet



Today is the celebration of my birth

It’s my day, for what it’s worth

It’s weird how I feel so numb

How come this day ain’t fun?

Must it be this way?

And if so well I have something to say



Sixteen ain’t sweet

Oh no, no, no

It ain’t a treat

No, no, no

Not what it seems

No, no, no

It ain’t no dream



It’s not what it’s supposed to be

Is something wrong, or is it just me?

Feel so bored, trying to make it through

Fake a smile; fool all of you

Just trying to make it through the day

As it seems it has to be this way





Sixteen ain’t sweet

Oh no, no, no

It ain’t a treat

No, no, no

Not what it seems

No, no, no

It ain’t no dream



Whatever happened to my joy of this?

Why has it been all dismissed?

I want it to be so much more then what it’s become

But it seems this day has spun,

Into something like any other day

I hate that it ended up this way



Sixteen ain’t sweet

Oh no, no, no

It ain’t a treat

No, no, no

Not what it seems

No, no, no

It ain’t no dream



Not sweet, No treat

Not what it seems, Ain’t no dream

Oh no, no, no

One thing for sure,

Sixteen ain’t sweet
