Mein Kampf My Sruggle

School did a lot of damage to me And left it's scars Even today without really realising it It robbed me of my self worth And memories of those days left me hurt As depression took a hit . I was never the lead actor or even on the stage In school plays I was always behind the scenes While the best looking boy and school beauty Queen Tool the main parts They were the one chosen to head the boys Soccer team Or be chosen as may Queen With her long blonde hair it just wasn't fare. Being told your lazy or dumb because you have Have learning difficulties Your too fat can't draw rubbish at sums And in sports you cannot run Makes you feel useless and stupid. The emotional battering of a small shy child Went on and on At home it was very much the same I was teased and called all sorts of put down names And everything was my fault even if I wasn't there And I'd be always compared to my Mothers friends Perfect kids who were always better than me in some way. Always made to feel embarrassed Bullied and always harassed Told I'd never get a job And end up in jail I was deemed to fail And rejected all my life. I locked myself away for many years Couldn't cope with people and Life And drank and shed so many internal tears That burned more and more Over my wasted years. Now I have been successful to some extent in life But the scars of memories are just below the surface I've had to fight so many battles uphill Alone always alone still I'm fighting a losing battle in a war I can never win.
