She was merely 16,
too young to experience life on her own,
but too old to have it spoon-fed to her,
she wanted to be independent,
a rebel,
she wanted to say she had done it,
without her mom knowing,
but she found out
2 a.m.
knock on the door,
"I'm sorry ma'am...
but we found her"
...she wasn't even 16...
