I Used To Be

i used to be able to play soldier in the street with sticks and pine cones. but now I'm addicted to facebook and video games on my phones. I used to be an A+ student. did what i was told with out hesitation. but now im an F and D student. cause i live in a lazy nation. i used to be cheerful and happy. not a single dark thought. but now im surrounded with anger, and teens who smoke pot. i used to climb on the jungle gyms! and act like they was giant fighter planes! but now there are no jungle gyms! and every ones attention wanes! i used to be healthy. rode a bike all day and even ran through the streets. but now im not so healthy! constant chest pains and other avhes are the price i pay, for having changed in such a bad way.

To see in me what used to be would solve some long time mysteries.... Today is here and yesterday - gone.. And I look for tomorrow to continue on.... Nice write, James... Write on... Jake
