When I was Sixteen

When I was sixteen (my story)

When I was sixteen

I was puzzled like I was fourteen

My thought grew above eighteen

And I looked as if I was nineteen.

When I was sixteen

I acted as the third Adam

My eyes opened ahead of twenty.

And I ate the glowing fruit of Eve.

When I was sixteen

I refused to flee like Joseph

When Mrs. Potiphar served me a meal

Cause I didn't want to be unwise.

When I was sixteen

Holiness to me was a stranger

I washed my purity in naughtiness

and smoking was my breath.

When I was sixteen

Religion wasn't my friend

I refused to be a church rat

Cause I wouldn't eat prayers

When I was sixteen

My head was forced to live with the bible

To be roofed like a pastor

But my eyes nerved across the sea.

When I was sixteen

I own a home with a ghost

All night we rested on each other

And shared the best of our fruits.
