"My Life So Far - Pop/Punk" - Lyric Critique

by Cory Hegland

This is the story of my life
I gotta worn you it is a fight
But there are still a lot of challenges ahead
I couldn?t make it without my true friends
at home my depression is only fed

my life started out with divorce
until I was two my parents love was forced
so for awhile they lived apart
and I was happy for the most part

then I turned six
and my dad met a girl with a heart of bricks
we didn?t know till it was to late
they got married when I turned eight

at eleven I had a bro and a sis
they?re the ones I will truly miss
I wish I gave them a kiss goodbye
with my next rhyme I tell u why

you see at the age of 12
My step mom showed her heart of stone
and I was forced to leave my once loving home
I guess I didn?t meet her standards as a son
I?m never good enough in the long run

As I started my freshman year
I felt like I lived in fear
Not of school but of home
They didn?t know I had hyper attention syndrome
I guess their view was hazy
They thought I was just lazy

Now I?m 17 and so it seems
I?ve developed low self-esteem
But I?ve learned a lot
Like love is always long shot
It doesn?t matter if its your lover
or your mother
and if you force it for to long
the other person will be long gone
