Once Bad

If only you knew me,
When I was in dark state,
I was born by the sea.

Can't remember the date,
Grew up without a dad,
Turned bad when I was eight.

Taking drugs made me  mad
I'm the boss on the street,
My actions made mum sad.

But I remained on seat,
My soul was set apart ,
And fell into love's peat  .

Now love goes through my heart,
Moving on a slow cart.
