Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCCDDDEEEFFFGGGHI J KKLMNNOOOPPPQQRSSSTT T| I'm seventeen | A |
| Not so happy with what I've been | B |
| Trying so hard to fit in | B |
| Forcing to stay in the gang | C |
| Bang bang bang | C |
| Was all I sang | C |
| Unaware of the hole I created | D |
| Because it looked so decorated | D |
| Silver gold and diamond plated | D |
| Slowly I went down deeper | E |
| With shackles and no slipper | E |
| Going towards the Grim reaper | E |
| Then I found myself in a room | F |
| So empty with no groom | F |
| So dirty without a broom | F |
| Crying on the floor | G |
| I couldn't take it anymore | G |
| Breaking through that door | G |
| Took a lot of courage | H |
| But I was filled with rage | I |
| Couldn't chill cause I had no cold beverage | J |
| - | |
| No longer being a coward | K |
| I decided to move forward | K |
| And fight for the reward | L |
| I may be young | M |
| And I hope my days on earth will be long | N |
| But let me sound this ding dong | N |
| I've listened to stories of great men | O |
| How they were by then | O |
| And how they got trapped in the lion's den | O |
| One told me life could be easy | P |
| To make it I've got to be busy | P |
| So that later it'll be cozy | P |
| I learn from that man | Q |
| Who makes the plan | Q |
| Who pauses the fun | R |
| As I get out of the nest | S |
| I beat my chest | S |
| Saying I'm the best | S |
| I'm no longer the same | T |
| No excuses no one to blame | T |
| Because I create my own game | T |
