Before I was born,
After I was an egg.
Before there was a warn,
After I would beg.


Before you loved,
After you hated.
Before no beloved,
After ask why I was created?


Before you were love,
After you were evil.
Before public you spoke of,
After my life a retrieval.

Before I was a child,
After an adult.
Before I would go wild,
After I show the result.

Before I allowed,
After I am an advocate.
Before I hid in the crowd,
Aftier I now stand straight.
