Life Expectancy

Jevonte Lockhart

He had a life expectancy of 16
 But he surprised the world when he made it to 17
 he faced his toughest battles at 18
 and kept fighting the war within him self when he was 19
 he wasn't sure if he'd make it to 20
 but he never stopped chasing his dreams at 21
 he met a amazing girl at 22
 he didnt think he would have this kind of life at 23
 I guess you can say he found a purpose at 24
 he proved everyone wrong because they expected him to serve 25 to life.
