A Different Kind of Yolk

When I was a kid, I remember feeling,
  different then my folks.
        You could say my egg,
 had a different kind of yolk.

        I was always angry, rude,
 hyper and high-strung,
        I spoke just how I felt,
 never held my tongue.

         I was constantly getting,
 into lots of fights,
        my mom would ground me,
 she tried to set me right.

         I always felt like there was,
 something wrong with me,
         I was loud,
 causing trouble never low-key.

         As I grew older,
 the problem became bigger.
        Cocked and loaded,
 my finger on the trigger.

          Puberty arrived,
 and she stuck her head out,
       Six-grade camp,
 a girl I was crazy about.

       We had to be careful,
 big trouble if caught,
       We would sneak off,
 to our favorite spot.

       I thought my heart,
 was going to explode in my chest,
       From that first kiss,
 I knew I was possessed.

       We got caught making out,
 our parents blew a fuse.
        They said our behavior,
 is not normal, there is no excuse.

       We paid no attention,
 it was puppy love.
       We were 15 and wishing,
 on the stars above.

        I remember feeling,
 different then my folks.
       You could say my egg,
 had a different kind of yolk...
