Seventeen

A little short something cause I'm feeling kinda emotional and have the desire to write...

Seventeen, seventeen,

            I almost never came to see seventeen.

I fought death for some reason,

            Of which I do not know,

Because never have I felt more dead,

            Or thought life as such a foe. 

Author's Note

Thoughts on the AABCBC rhyme-scheme? Robert Burns used it in "To a Mouse".

Yes, I was in the back seat when a drunk driver crashed at 75 MPH in a police chase as a sixteen year old. It was quite a life-changing experience.
