17 and still a kid- Anamika Sharma

When you open up your heart
and say what you think,
You’re 17 and still a kid.
When you laugh out loud
and stare at clouds,
You’re 17 and still a kid.
When you walk like you
don’t care about anyone,
You’re 17 and still a kid.
When you play with kids,
You’re 17 and still a kid.
When you try to learn football,
You’re 17 and still a kid.
When you don’t want to date
and leave things on your fate,
You’re 17 and still a kid.
When you talk to god
and tell him things are going wrong,
You’re 17 and still a kid.
When you dream of building
underground elevators all over
your city.
So that it’s easy to meet
your friends,
You’re 17 and still a kid.
When you feel clouds are magical,
You’re 17 and still a kid.
When you tell your heart,
“Hearty don’t be sad, not
everyone can be so raw
and clean when you are 17”.
You feel so light as if flying
and so proud of your thoughts,
Trust me it’s not easy to be 17
and still a kid.
STAY RAW STAY HAPPY
