Now that I'm Wiser


When I was young… I lived in a small city named Columbus, OH I went to Today’s Child for daycare and East Columbus for school I dreamed to be a family doctor for others I believed everything I had dreamed would happen I needed guidance on how to act my age I wanted to stop all of my reckless ways I loved dancing to all the hip hop songs I sang all the songs from Big Time Rush I enjoyed watching Big Time Rush all the time I thought that I would be a kid forever, I was naive I befriended a good friend for all of my bad ways I saw my new friends switch on me like my old friends said When I was younger I read a book named “The Boy Who Cried, Wolf” I wished that there were more books like that I ate 24/7 like it was going to go somewhere I followed my dreams of being considerate of others I had a favorite dog and I loved him I used to play a school like all my bears were my students When I was younger Now that I’m older I live in my home city, Cassady Columbus, Oh I go to a school in Columbus, Oh called East High School I dream that in four years that I would have my own business I believe that if I follow my heart, I will be successful I need to be more judicious in the decisions that I make I want to be more independent and make more prudent decisions I love how my life is starting I am happy I sing so that others can hear me out on what I say I enjoy being around positive people I know that I can get a lot done with faith I am friends with my old friends that I switched on before I see myself walking across the stage saying that I made it Now that I’m wiser I read a college letter saying that I made it I wish school didn’t slap me in my face so quickly I eat healthy to better the life that I’m about to get I follow my dreams that I thought I would never have I favor myself of how I act and how I become I now have the love for everyone and appreciate the great Now that I’m older and wiser
