I'm 16 today
I am pain
futility
hurt.

I am weakness.

I'm 16 today
I am mute
tired
lonely.

I am not heard.

I'm 16 today
I am stubborn
rebellious
trapped.

I will not speak.

As I speak, I learn.

Be patient with me when my actions contradict my words. It means I have yet to learn.

Assuredly, I have learnt to speak.

Yet, I must speak to learn.

Will you be an ear?
