Being 17
Has its ups and downs
It has to goods and bads

Being 17
Has its battles and compromises
It has its truths and lies

Being 17
My life has always been about pleasing my mother
Pleasing my grandmother
Pleasing my friends

Being 17 has always been about
Bringing everybody together
Solving every possible problem
Making sure everybody has a smile on their faces

Being 17 has always been about not letting my teachers down
Not letting my friends down
Not letting my family down
Not letting myself down

Being 17...can a girl ever get any peace in her life?
