Only 16

What would you do
if you were all alone
paying your own rent
& still going to school
eating food from a can
cuz it\'s the cheapest thing to do

what would you do
if your only true love
walked out with everything
except the cloths on your back

what would you do
if vodka was your only friend
& the hole world was your enemy
fighting the battle to stay alive
but in the end
still having tears in your eyes

what would you do
if you couldn\'t smile
cuz your smile left long ago
along with happy memories
of your forgotten childhood
what would you do
if you were me
living as an adult
at only 16.
