I cried on my 16th Birthday.

I cried on my 16th birthday,
In the comfort of my father's arms.
He understood completely,
Because now I start to collect my own bracelet charms.

I cried because I was scared,
I feel like I'm growing up too fast.
There is so much to learn,
Because I gotta start taking my own life path.

I was also very excited,
Because, independently, I could so so much more.
Even if it all goes wrong,
My mum will never shut her door.

I know 16 is nothing to be afraid of,
But I cried all the same.
Imagine what I'll be like at 18,
Wait..... that's ages away.
