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.
