Not the Angel

I was not nearly
As angelic
As I thought I was
When I was
Growing up.
I was just
A regular kid,
Doing what kids do,
And suffering
The consequences.
If intelligence
Was guiding my life,
It definitely
Wasn’t my own.
Someone somewhere
Must have been
Looking after me,
Making sure
I didn’t get myself
In more trouble
Than I could handle.
If there was
An angel involved,
It wasn’t me.
