When I was six

I was told I couldn’t play the piano,

at that age, I was too old,

my mother wasn’t to know.

When I was thirteen,

my singing career came to a stop,

my voice broke,

I never sang another note.

When I was in year 12,

I was told, I couldn’t design buildings,

“You’re a business student." Shake of the head.

And I went to one of the best schools there is.

When I was twenty, I got a guitar,

I taught myself in my room.

Not long after my housemate

smashed it, being dramatic, and cute.

And, once again, it was too late.

But, I wrote it down from an early age,

that much I could save.
