If

If I was once a kid 
Flying the street like ace
Hiding under the bed as shield 
Be a black sheep to what is right
Indeed, no stage is constant.

If I was once a heart breaker 
Irksome like a willful goat 
Later regarded as the nicer 
Showing the younger what is good 
Hmm! There is still good from your bad.

If I was once a jinxed 
Identified as black egg from fowl 
But now fortunately blessed 
Standing as mirror to people
Absolutely, no condition is stable.

Stop! Oh my dears 
Think right to wipe your tear’
Accept that your time is near 
Be happy! The black cloud will clear 
You're not the first to be on the stair.
