Such a young age
growing up early

Such a young age
to experience life's cruel side

Such a young age
yet I powered through

Such a young age
the memories live on

Such a young age
I wrote a new page in my life

Such a young age
was an outrage

Such a young age
memories replay

A young adult
the ghosts haunt

A young adult
I power through

A young adult
poetry my therapy

A young adult
I keep my head above water

A young adult
who is still living
