Happy Birthday To Me...

According to these papers,

I was born upon this day.

I'm "officially" one year older

but I just don't feel that way...

According to these numbers,

I turn seventeen today

I'm practically an adult now

and yet... I still don't feel that way...

I feel...

I feel like I'm six

insignificant and small...

except now there's no-one left here

to catch me when I fall

I feel...

I feel like I'm eight

sensitive and shy...

even now a single comment

is enough to make me cry

I feel...

I feel like I'm ten

too quick to give out trust...

excep now i've learned to grab whoever's left
