Sand Box Children

Location

I say and I say 

The Shit that I hear and See

Are hard to relieve

When its me but not you

Its easy to say 

"This shit will go away"

I can't speak

or move 

 

Everytime I turn around 

Their eyes all on me

Society 

Persisting to control me

When the reality is

Bitch you dont own me

 

All because I gave you trust

You watered me out

Turned me into rust
 

I can't pay attention in class

I think I need another Medication atlast

People say smoke the joint

It'll make you last

 

The peer pressure of choosing where I should fit in

I thought worrying about where  you belong 

Was something that would  only happen once 

 

Trust the easiest to break

Yet the hardest thing to provide

 

Funny, people think its easy to revive

I didn't know it till

I saw my heart 

Crumbling like a rock dispersed to ash

Right after a lazer burned the scraps

No longer able to renew

But  feeble person split in two

 

I don't know why  this  is a phase 

That we must pass

All I know is

This is something that I never  wish to look back

 

So when my teacher looked at me

Asked me for my home work 

Where was the rest of my assignment 

And gave no attention

 

All I could think was

If these people would ever be enlightened

 

Maybe I'm not the type of person you wanted to be friends with

But bulling was alittle to much,

More of a commitment

 

To hating people you didn't know

Just  to feel "the greatness"

Of your big ego

 

All I know is the things I see

As the bully bullies me

And when eveyone notices

Theres no one guiding me

Im alone and hopeless

 

The heart of a girl 

And of many on display

As the children in the sand box gigle and runaway
