Saccharine Sixteen

i sat down on the floor;

my thighs against my chest,

my chin resting on my knees,

my lower lip biting the upper one

my fingers crossed against each other...



i sighed, rolled my eyes and began to wonder.



im already sixteen yet it's still so hard to hold back my tears.



im now sixteen yet my world is still enveloped with silly fears.



i still gaze at the stars and ask if they twinkle,

and even look for an arc of color whenever rain teems.



i indulge in silly pleasures which for the others seem shallow

and drown myself in such endless dreaming of having such magnificent destinations.



im now sixteen...



are these thoughts worthy of time?
