I Wanted No More

  • My childhood was not

    the greatest,

    my life began in hell,

    for my struggles,

    in and out of school,

    yes this is the story of my childhood,

    I wish to be able to tell!

    Picked on,

    called names,

    skipped class to save my,

    asked nothing,

    just wished to be left alone!

     

    Days got harder,

    the name calling got worse,

    such a sad little lad,

    stuck by a Maxi Pad!

     

    They chanted,

    day after day,

    Maxi Pad, Maxi Pad, Maxi Pad,

    making me ever so mad!

     

    Life growing up was hard,

    no one would help me,

    being called a freak,

    branded as a geek,

    even got called an ugly retard

    as I ignored them turning the other cheek!

     

    No one told me,

    what to expect

    as a child growing up,

    I was the perfect victim,

    that everyone loves to pick on,

    the one sorry sad little lad,

    that everyone wanted to beat up!

     

    I wanted to disappear,

    I wanted to die,

    but I kept pushing on,

    I learned to survive!

     

    Years got worse,

    can't focus,

    not able to smile,

    yes this went on for a while!

    Name calling continued

    all the way into the ninth grade!

     

    My problem grew worse,

    feeling as if I am living a curse,

    not able to focus,

    feeling the life sucked out of me,

    by blood sucking locus!

     

    Bullies of all ages picking on me,

    yes even the teachers had their fun!

    I began to panic,

    that became a disorder,

    unable to focus with my work,

    closing my eyes in class,

    wishing the torture was over,

    finally I was done,

    seventeen and facing the door,

    this was when I knew for sure

    that I wanted no more!
