I'M Still Growing

I was a goofy kid Did goofy things Fell off swings But I grew Broke my arm twice Knee cap cracked Leg was jacked But I grew Sped my bike down a hill Smacked a parked car Wings spread out, I flew far But I grew Fell off a bumper Landed on my chin My face had a second grin But I grew Fell in love with Godzilla Pretended to be a princess She surely wasn’t a genius But I grew Almost married, late twenties I didn’t say yes, she walked away Big regret, my life turned gray But I grew Jabbed my eye with a cardboard Couldn’t see, gave me a scare Kept it a secret, used my spare But I grew Slept on a table Didn’t know Popped my elbow But I grew Picked up lunch Almost lost I cut everyone off But I grew In my forties, looking back I’m lucky I’m still alive Now I enjoy a morning sunrise I’m still growing
