I was eight years old, nearly nine
when I first found you, I wasn't fine!
Everything changed back then
you should have seen the amount of water, I'd drunked, PINTS!
You are like a cycle
I mean sometimes I feel like an old pen
with no ink spare -no energy- unable to do my job!
Other times I feel no pain like I am in another world,
were everyone is happy and they can't stop chating!
At least I get more attention, it is all because of you.
There is no need of me to open my gob.
Although you have changed all my eating habits
Maths should be easier for me, having to count all the time...
but I shall get used to it, now that you are part of my life.
