Corpus Christi

by Amanda Jackson   Apr 22, 2004


Corpus Christi
The city where my life truly began
Things didn’t run smoothly
They surely didn’t run as planned
My life hit some ups and downs
I was friends with pretty much every crowd
That ultimately shaped me into the person I am now
The person that everyone seems to want to be around
I’m just me
What’s so special about me?
I guess I just can’t see what people see in me

My past is just that
Something that I didn’t want to last
In fact it’s something that didn’t need to last
I had to put that to an end
And consequently
I lost many of my supposed friends
But I guess that’s just how it goes
Life just doesn’t go in a perfect little flow

I just don’t know
But Corpus Christi
Is what gave my life that little extra go
It was hard to let go
Of the city
That put my life into a crazy flow
The city
That turned me into me
Someone I definitely don’t regret to be

I had to live and learn
My life might have taken the wrong turn
But that’s something that I definitely learned from

It’s just something that happened
In the crazy city I come from
Corpus Christi
A place that doesn’t need to be shunned
Just a place that I learned from

The city
The people
The environment
That’s just what it has to be

Corpus Christi
The city that ultimately
Turned me into the person that I have grown to be
A part of me
Or should I say a lot of me
Will always be with
Corpus Christi
But the rest of me
Had to move on
And see what my future
Had in store for me
