Hello, My Name Is

Hello my name is baby

I’m the youngest of the bunch

And I’ll stay this way for 8 more years

Until the new one comes

Hello my name is challenge

But I don’t understand

What makes me so difficult

Why aren’t I just a kid

Hello my name is different

But I don’t know that yet

That doesn’t mean that I don’t know

That I’m not like the rest

Hello my name is knowing

And they say that I’m advanced

They’re betting on my future

But they won’t look at the now

Hello my name is burden

And I ruin everything

At least that’s what my sister says

About my 4th grade class

Hello my name is blooming

I’m experiencing change

My fat will redistribute

And they’ll watch me when I move

Hello my name is trauma

And you cannot fix me now

I should’ve listened to myself

I should’ve called for help

Hello my name’s disabled

And I should’ve known before

But no one ever told me

So I guess we’re starting now

Hello my name is west side

And I will not pretend

I know that we are different

That there’s changes on my end

Hello my name is broke as hell

And you’re allowed to say it

But you come over 70k

So it’s best that you not comment

Hello my name is poor kid

And you all pity me

I wish I didn’t see it

But Jesus Christ I can

Hello my name is bad one

And I influence you

Your parents do not like me

Or don’t like what I’m around

Hello my name is toxic

And it’s who my family is

You say it doesn’t judge me

But you didn’t even ask

Hello my name is troubled

Hello my name is flight

Hello my name is try again

And try to get it right

Hello my name is Colin

And you haven’t met me yet

But once you do

I promise you

I am one you won’t forget.
