ITS QUITE DECIEVING- SWEET 16
THE NAME DOESN'T FIT FROM WUT I HAVE SEEN
I CRY SOMETIMES CAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO DO
OH SWEET 16 ISN'T SO SWEET THATS TRUE
THE BOY I LUV IS OUT OF MY REACH
AND BEING BROKEN HEARTED ISN'T SO SWEET
SO I TRY TO HIDE IT
I PASS THROUGH THE DAY
WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE
AND MY TEARS STASHED AWAY
EVERY BODY'S TALKING
ABOUT HOW SWEET "16" WILL BE
WELL SWEET 16 ISN'T SO SWEET TO ME

"sweet" 16.  Who cam eup w/ that.  There are somany new challenges at 16 it seems overbearing.  I understand exactly where you are coming from.  I hope as you grow from these experience and years pass when you look back at 16, you have found things have worked out to be a little sweeter than you thaught

Oh boy ... I sure remember thinking some similar thoughts when I turned 16 Layla ... It sure can be contradictory can't it? Nicely penned, great expression!

Best wishes,

This was really good...I feel the same exact way, I'm turning 16 in a couple months, and it doesn't look like my future is so sweet.  Everyone says that it's the perfect age, the best times of your life, but I really hope this isn't the best time of my life.  I'm sure everything will get better thought. Keep smiling and think happy thoughts.

The night is my companion
The solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied?

I completely understand how you feel coz i feel the same.  I sometimes just feel 'wots the point in having a life if its going to be this bad' but then i realise that there's no point thinking like this.  We have to try make the best of the way things are..and hope, dream, pray that they will change someday!!
