Bad 2 Worse

When I was born, who would have of thought I'd be in jail?
Who would have thought, I'd be stuck in a 2 man cell?
t was all good in middle school, when I played football,
I was the quarterback, but can't forget about kickball.
I graduated middle school in the year 1993,
who would have thought, I had a rough life ahead of me?
High school came up, and it was going oh so well,
who would have thought, that I'd be headed straight to jail?
Graduated in 1997, I finally made it out on top,
who would have thought in 1998, all happy memories would stop?
It went downhill after that, and I started thinking bad,
did things I had no business doing, but where was my dad?
Who would have thought, that I would face the rough life?
Being in prison at age 24, in the batter's box facing 3 strikes.
It was bad at first, but things got a little rocky in 2002,
did the same things again, and I got caught that time too.
Then things got worse, by being a 3 strike candidate,
being surrounded by concrete, and tall barb wire gates.
Bad to worse and I can't even think of why it transpired,
what in the hell was I thinking, by starting all those fires?
Had a son, and I didn't even think about him,
should have had a clue, when the light started getting dim.
In my life I thought I'd be the top man, and finish first,
but for I'm dead last, 'cause I went from BAD 2 WORSE!

I liked this. I liked how it flowed and it kept me interested. How long have you been writing for? What inspires you to write?
Until next time...
