I Changed

I once was a kid
Causing trouble and strife
Thinking who'd give a shit
It's part of my life

I'd rob from the shops
Steal some car keys
Not giving a toss
I done it with ease

I'd spend all my money
On drugs and the booze
Driving while drinking
Off on a cruise

Slashing the tyres
Leaving it there
Not even thinking
That someone would care

Yes it is true
It seemed liked a stunt
In my youth life
I was a c---

Never showing my fear
My tears or my pain
I treated my life
I lived it in vain

But now I am older
I look at my past
Yeah it was great
I had a good blast

Now I have five
Kids of my own
I'll be watching them closely
Won't leave them alone

They changed my whole life
My opinions and views
They gave me the strength
To give up the booze

So this was my poem
About my youth life
My adult life's better
5 kids and a wife
