life

When I was born I had a good life

But then it all started

When I was young I was bullied 

And I felt disregarded

 

My sister used to make fun of me

Just like all the others

They would laugh and call me names 

I didn’t feel like her brother

 

After a while I toughened up

And kept it all inside 

All my anger and my sadness

Made me want to die 

 

Then I became a circus clown 

A freak you could say

Just to keep myself unhurt

And keep them all at bay

 

Now look at me thirteen years later

I say things I don’t want to say

I’ve pretty much messed up my life 

Just look at me wouldn’t you say

 

I have gone through my life so far

And it has all been tough

Now I act like a person i’m not

I try but it is rough

 

I’m a nice, kind person

One who loves all things

But you will never see that side

Because of what they did

 

People call me crazy

A person to watch out for

But I don’t want to be this way

Dancing through life alone on an empty floor

 

When I was born I had a good life

But then it all started 

And now you know what has happened

And why I feel disregarded
