The Girl on the Monkey Bars

I was the girl on the monkey bars 

The chubby ten-year-old girl that could barely do much on them
 
I attempted to swing across all twelve bars 

But couldn’t even get past two of them

I was the girl on the monkey bars; who decided to sit on the top of them like an idiot 

I then turned into the girl that fell off the monkey bars and onto her own face in the wood chips with dirt all in her hair.
