Seventeen Ain't So Sweet [Acrostic].
Seventeen ain't so sweet, though you couldn't tell
Enjoying youth, the last few months of school
Various curfews being pushed, dusk coming quite late
Energy bouncing through, music cranked up loud
Nearing graduation, college coming, summer parties
Teenagers ploys at it's finest; not getting caught
Endearing words tossed around - pet names of love
Exchange sweet smiles, flirtacious glances meet
Never realizing she just isn't what they thought
Alone inside; she can't break from the guilt
Intimidated by the sickness, it's her fault
Needing attention, for she's only seventeen.
Time is slipping away more quickly than she thought.
So afraid of whats to come, the diagnosis was right
Off the record, second chances, she's just so young
Sorry for her wrongs; she didn't think of this punishment
Where was justice? Unable to help her past
Ending her life, though it wasn't by choice
Even God surely knew that, couldn't he help?
Too young to fight, and much too young to die.
