Couldn't Have Lived it Any Other Way

it was years ago let the truth ago when I first existed as a seed then i was formed into a baby yet just maybe I would see things in a sought after vision a nurse held me in her arms saying this child would grow to reach the masses soon after I would grow to become an altar boy what a joy then i was sixteen flipping burgers down at Mickey D's thinking all of life was just a mystery then I met my first girl putting my life in such a twirl in time I would shine as the prom king all the girls would scream then the leader of my play still thrills me until this day 1989 wrote my first poem, "Remembrance of a loved one" cozy in the ride of a brand new Mustang then ran into a street thing took my breath away although those many years would pass still I had every good reason to grasp what true love really meant yet it was only lust in disguise was listening to the devils ill faded lies does all of this logic come at any big enough surprise took up acting in college learning with lots of knowledge then it leads up to today written over 2,000 poems & 3 short stories never was my name up there in lights but one day i just might be remembered for my poetry that is the only way I could face reality what was I will to achieve sweet victory as I take my next breath feelings that I touched many a heart along my stay every day willing to bow the head to pray yet I couldn't have lived it any other way
