"Life at 16" (my poem)

Life at 16 great and pleasuring
Innocent to say we don't know anything
Innocent to be as free as can be
Innocent to be as young as we wanna be
But how can you be happy when you see someone you love hurting
How can you be sane when you have horrible memories
How can you escape such agony

I have watched a person close to me
Be hurt like she's been brutaily mudered
I have watched unfourtnate things
Things I can't explain
How do you give advice on such horrible things
How do you make them feel better and free
How do you make a real smile
