My Life

Born and raised in Aurora Illinois
growing up, like a normal kid always playing with toys

I was always afraid of getting ate by T-REX
I always felt I was next

Growing up was easy, but life became hard
Sad, getting made fun of and getting called a lard

Anger and down, I felt all alone
Sad to say all I had was home

No real friends, just two faced kids
The only thing they cared about was trying to get rid

Rid of me, but I have always wondered why
Maybe they were jealous of Me myself and I

Or maybe scared of what I could do
Better then them, him, her and then you

I was a talented young boy
I felt like the king of Illinois

Just not to many friends but they gave up on me
If only they could see

Six years later it was Osceola, Iowa where I moved
My parents didn't care, they knew I didnt approve

Settled on a farm, I went to school with fear
And for the first time in forever things became clear

This town, this school everything about this place
I felt something, such a warm embrace

I had many friends, so many knew starts
A couple of girls that even stole my heart

My ups and downs, My lefts to rights
A few negatives, a couple of fights

I was finally normal, with a path to explore
Never have I felt like I actually had something to stand for

Growing up was easy, high school was a breeze
Made so many friends, finally felt my heart could not freeze

For once In my life I felt normal
I didnt have to be fake and always dress formal

Nobody cared what I wore or what I did 
I finally got to be me and open a lid

A knew me, feels like it has been released
I feel loved, to say the least

Im proud of who I am, what I have become
This is my life in such a short sum
