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
