“sweet 16?”

16 orbits of sun I’ve seen,
livin’ life like a dream
i cried through pain
and laughed in vain
looking back at the days
i laughed, i learned, i cried
and through every moment, I TRIED
i look back on memories,
old and new
thinking of peeps with contrasting hue
some waited and some flew
but alas it all makes sense
as I stand here with memories dense
