Once Upon

Once upon my life story... Once upon a time I was an infant of only 5.5 pounds Used to cry and make crazy sounds Once upon a time I was a toddler obnoxious and hyper I would play all day in my dirty diaper Once upon a time I was an angry, spiteful kid Almost everyday I got wrote up and sent to the office for the things I did Once upon a time I was a ugly duckling Picked on by girls because of how I looked, everyday I was sulking Once upon a time I was a weakling Unsociable I was and mean Once upon a time I was neglected The outcast with no place, I was rejected Once upon a time I reached the age of thirteen I decided to awaken a potential unseen Once upon a time I was shunned because of my flaws Now I am the exact opposite of who I was Upon this time I am no longer a ugly duckling Those same girls tried to flirt with me, (funny) in the inside I'm chuckling Upon this time I am no longer weak After years of training in martial arts I mastered my physique, I challenged the football team to a one handed push up contest, I laughed as I continued my winning streak Upon this time I am no longer neglected I am calm, patient, and collected Upon this time I am eighteen Graduated last week and now I set off to seek my dreams And that's the end of my 'once upon a time' story
