When I was...

When I was seven my dad
Cheated on my mum
And by the time I was nine, they were divorced,

When I was ten my mum
Couldn't afford the mortgage
And by the time I was eleven, we'd moved house,

When I was twelve my best friend
Told me she was never really my friend at all
And by the time I was thirteen I was depressed,

When I was fourteen my mum
Decided she wanted to move me away from my friends again
And by the time I was fifteen, I'd been kicked out,

Now I'm sixteen and my dad
Has to look after me
But by the time I'm seventeen, I doubt there will be anything left to look after.
