“Secrets & Lies”

by Nicola Edwards

When I was younger I would cheat

I would hide the veggies and a cookie I would eat.

I would take a shower, and always skip my feet

When I was younger I would cheat.

When I was younger I would cheat

I would hide my toys, my room would always look so neat.

When my teacher began to speak, I would jump up from my seat

When I was younger I would cheat.

When I was younger I would cheat

And over the years I’d get some heat.

For all the lies, tales and deceit

Now I’m older, wiser and am nice and sweet.
