My Autobiography

I was the 1st of 3 children
I arrived before my parents were married
I learned early that lying is a sin
I've held my baby brother after my mom
I looked for seashells in Clearwater, FL
I've heard kids scream, laugh, and giggle while playing soccer
I lost my pet due to a hammer and a younger brother
I've held a little girl after she fell of a tricycle

A girl hated me
Because of what happened
In middle school.
My friend lost a family member(s) in Iraq.
My great grandmother lived 3 1/2 hours away.
She died at the age of 92
I had this awesome 3rd grade teacher (Mrs. Hendricks)
I tell you sincerely
That seeing Orlando
In the back of a limousine is worth your while.
I have been cruel to my brothers
But I still love them.

I saw the World Trade Centers fall
I saw the World Trade Centers fall
Over and over again
On TV in 7th grade in home base with Mr. Mueller
I once screamed at my mother
Cause we lost a game
I have never been drunk
I only had stitches once in my life
Four times I've lost my watch and sunglasses.
I've almost gotten into an accident twice
I've played 4 square
Until we couldn't see the chalk lines
Due to the rain.

I've landed a 34 1/2 inch Muskie with a cane pole
I hit a curb and flew off my bike
And walked away with only a few scratches
I've been fortunate to have many miracles
Such as: friends, family, and life
I've melted marshmallows
And burned my finger

I once got to meet and talk
With LeRoy Butler
In Marshall Fields at the Appleton Mall
I bought a bike
And broke it 6 months later

She found me
The friend
I wasn't looking for.
Together we've made
Memories and a lot of laughs
We've been to Beaver Dam and back again
She's made me laugh when I was down
She makes a fool of herself
To get you to smile at her or look at her
She's tested me and I've done the same to her
Just to see what we can over come.

I've been scared by my parents
Along with friends at a bon fire
I have stored notes and pictures away
In a K Swiss box under my bed
I've flown in a plane in the middle of November
The smell of cookies
Brings back the airplane rides
The smell of the ocean in FL
Awaits me till next year
I've felt sick to my stomach
On the Merry-Go-Round
The slow then fast spin of it
Seeing the same things over and over again
As a young child I've
Felt the strong tug of a musky
And only at the age of 7
My grandfather had to grab the net
To help me bring it in
The song "Who Am I" by Casting Crowns
Has changed my life forever
My wooden nameplate
Is all chipped on the sides and is faded with age
My life is one big puzzle
No one knows where my missing
Pieces are or how to put me together
I am a messed up puzzle
And that's all my life will ever be.

I wrote this my sophomore year in high school for my english class. So it's kind of old. I just found it and I forgot how much I liked it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I still do.
