1
My life was fun
Cold as ice
Hot as the sun
2
I sat in a crib
Had my cries and laughs
This is my past
3
My dad left me I sat
On my family tree
Just my mom and me
4
I was in first grade not
A haste, was a waste
5
My life was well, going
Swell
6
I lay in waste as
I discover video games was my taste
7
Tic-toc-tic-toc
I sat at a desk
Waiting for the bell to sing
8
…
9
Was the peak of my life
Where I had my first fight
10
I remembered some trauma
Going on I found my mom
11
Was fast my birthday was
A blast
12
Just passed
13
I’m now this age going
Down like a snowflake
?
I know I’ll have fun future me
Making my decisions
I can’t wait
