Justin Worthy Poet Lyric

Once Upon

Once upon my life story...

Once upon a time I was an infant of only 5.5 pounds
Used to cry and make crazy sounds

Once upon a time I was a toddler obnoxious and hyper
I would play all day in my dirty diaper

Once upon a time I was an angry, spiteful kid
Almost everyday I got wrote up and sent to the office for the things I did

Once upon a time I was a ugly duckling
Picked on by girls because of how I looked, everyday I was sulking

Once upon a time I was a weakling
Unsociable I was and mean

Once upon a time I was neglected
The outcast with no place, I was rejected

Once upon a time I reached the age of thirteen
I decided to awaken a potential unseen

Once upon a time I was shunned because of my flaws
Now I am the exact opposite of who I was

Upon this time I am no longer a ugly duckling
Those same girls tried to flirt with me, (funny) in the inside I'm chuckling

Upon this time I am no longer weak
After years of training in martial arts I mastered my physique,
I challenged the football team to a one handed push up contest, 
I laughed as I continued my winning streak

Upon this time I am no longer neglected 
I am calm, patient, and collected

Upon this time I am eighteen
Graduated last week and now I set off to seek my dreams

And that's the end of my 'once upon a time' story
