Sweet sixteen
Surrounded by the ones you love
Partying up all night
Being a princess in everyones’ eyes
A pearl in the ocean
Making a wish to the stars
Hoping to be answered
While blowing the candles
Screen goes off.
When everything seems perfect may not be
Reality hits fast like a racing car
Feels like every other day
Transparent as ever
As if it never existed
Or I ever existed
Not even best wishes
Just living another day
With one year older
One step closer to the deep, dark ocean
Where the sharks swim and prey on small fishes
