VOWELS

I lost the E

In GIRAFFE

As a kid

Playing with the toys

 

I lost the O

In PURPOSE

As a teenager

Wading my life through

 

I lost the I

In I

As an adolescent

Trying to redeem me

 

I lost the U

In STRUGGLE

As an old man

Abandoned by his family

 

I lost the A

In ASH

As a dead body

Burning on the pyre
