17
I'm at that age where I am learning
How to ignore all of my distractions
I am learning that there are consequences for
All of my actions

But I am old enough to know
But young enough to not care
It's too early to show
But late enough to know it's there

So I will live for the moment
For the first time in my life
I will tell you how I'm feeling
And not just tell you I'm alright

I will work for the future
And not just work for the end
I will try to quit smoking
I will try to make amends

But I have time it seems
To satisfy my needs
To achieve my dreams
I'm only 17
I'm only 17
I'm only 17
I'm only 17
I'm only 17
