A seven year old's escape

When my world came crashing down

What was I to do

Law, culture, and age kept me bound

Ha, and my world turned to poo

I had emotions I thought were beyond compare

But at the age of seven, how much could I dare

Everywhere I turned, my new life had rules

And with no outlet, anger pools

A new person in mom's life

Her love was no longer just mine

A strict grandmother added to my strife

I knew my "times' tables" way past nine

According to my friends my life had become tragic

But then on tv we found a solution: magic

A knack for rhymes and bodies full of emotion

We created a spellbook and our every concoction was a potion

When my world came crashing down

I found something to do

I cast a spell to take away my frown

Maybe words'll work magic for you, too!
