Who I Could Be

I meant to do something else Instead of turning my life to Destroying myself by my teenage moods I left the Air Cadets in late summer 88 I went crazy in my own head Something went pop and I cracked And never recovered not 3 decades on I should've been an Air Force brat Today I saw the local cops muster Their Captain paraded them Any issues would be raised For we are in a national lock down here This damn fecking virus ruining the world I remember ruining my teen years By leaving the cadets and not joining up My dad said I refused to go He was right in that regards Why did my head go bang in 88? Things only got worse after that Two very bad years but I recovered I am who I am now but Not who I could've been An Air Force brat... Incident Report 74399 2020 JIMMY BOOM SEMTEX
