Could have been
Could have been
country singer but
I cannot sing.
Could of be
someone that change
the world through
my words but
I cannot find
the way to.
Could of won
a lot of
awards but I
cannot write music.
I do not
want do drugs
and drink all
the time is
why I don’t party.
Could have been
something I am
not but instead
I am going
to stay the
person I have been.
Could have been
a singer but instead
I am poet
that write poems.
