Young Teen

I used to be
Lost in an illusion
But I've come to a conclusion
The fact is
That this isn't right
I'm barely a young adult
More like a young teen
But I don't blame you
Because it's my fault
I guess that I misled you

Now I want to
Forget you
I'm sorry to admit
That I don't share
These feelings
I'm almost
Screaming

I hate to share the truth
But I have to.
You see I'm
Barely a young teen
Who hasn't really seen
The world through troubled eyes.
I'm just a girl who's not ready,
To immediately start
Going steady
And I don't want this
To be a mistake.

So hang on tight
Fight the tears,
Light the dark path ahead
Don't you die
You're heart's not dead
Didn't mean to hurt you
With the things that I said

I'm honestly,
Openly,
Completely
Unfeelingly
Trust me
When I say
I don't

I don't want to
Maybe I'm young
But I know what I want
And I don't want this

Supposing
One day that I change my mind
Trust me I'll leave
Every insecure thought
Behind

But...
I'm just a girl who's not ready,
To immediately start
Going steady
And I don't want this
To be a mistake.

*Imagine this sung as a song... er, Avril Lavigne type voice, I guess, with a bit of electrical music tastefully mixed with a classic violin solo at the very end that fades out to the last chords of a quiet piano. I enjoyed writing it, anyway..
