Je Suis Alex Carlos


I am extraordinary

My life has been full of twists and turns

But I am neither an icon nor exemplary 

Something may go and then it returns

I wasn't raised in poorness

But neither was I made from wealth

Yet I'm not full of bitterness 

Instead if something is too hard I simply take a warm bath

Because I was taught that to do something right 

You just need to breath and do your best

I just need to put my head down and take flight

And give life my all because the winner isn't always the highest
