If I was a child

If I had said I was a child.
When I had my child, I could write from child point of view.
We have all the answers and always right.
Hard-headed is what they call us.
Yes you know, when you were little you all wanted to be stars.
I had two big heads that squeeze out of here.
I was only a buck ten and look so beautifully thin.
Clothes could fit and I just could slide right on in.
I just turned 16, with two kids that look pretty clean.
I stayed in my mom house upstairs down the hall.
I am frustrated, and scared yes my head be everywhere.
I see their daddy about, what three times a week.
I use to see him more when it was all about us before.
So I guess the responsibility of my kids, is mine.
I can't even call their dad at a drop of a dime.
Now he says he doesn't have time.
Now you are trying to play me when you get around you homies.
See I try to write from a child point of veiw.
I had to grow up to take care of my two.
I will finish school and have a better plan.
By my mom by my side, giving me a helping hand.
