Oh well, listening to a bit of Bob Dylan and having a late night beer..just wrote this.. :-\

i am not full grown
but i'm not looking down
just a lonely child
in a fading town

i sometimes fight
and take a punch or two
it don`t hurt so much
and it helped me.. as i grew

trucks pass by and kick up
the dust..
wheels of broken chrome
showing up the rust


it`s the way..it`s always going to be
i am only a shadow of what they call
destiny..

a falling token, a game of chance
a sense of triviality..but it won`t last

and what is all about
if it`s not all about me...


my father drinks all night
my mother hides the glass
thinking he won`t see
she ain`t so bright..

neon glows thru the curtains
i grip the pillow tight
it don`t help me sleep.but
i love that old blue light

and  the sound of every drunk
thats singing on the ground
people just step over them
or they walk around..

it`s the way..it`s always going to be
i am only a shadow of what they call
destiny..

a falling token, a game of chance
a sense of triviality..but it won`t last.

and what is all about
if it`s not all about me...


i am not full grown
but i`m not looking down
just a lonely child
in a fading town

The lyrics have that unmistaken early Dylan feel about them and if you match the lyrics with a simple acoustic melody I think this could come up trumps for you.

Thanks, very insightful of you. :)

Good stuff, very good stuff.

Sing4me kinda summed up what I was thinking, has a Dylan-esque feel to it. Something about it comes across as very mature, possibly because you're acknowledging that you're still a kid in some ways.
