By the Time I'M 18

By the time I'm 7 I have been called a brat My older brother thinks that I'm too spoiled for my age By the time I'm 10 I have lost my innocence My mother would cry if she heard me say What the other kids say By the time I'm 13 I had my first boyfriend And I believed him When he called me those names By the time I'm 17 I have been judged by my looks I have become depressed And I don't want to leave my bed Soon I will be 18 And by the time I'm 18 I hope I am my own person and I'm not who others have judged me to be
