Childhood Down Rise

From the age of five,tender, naive easily lead
              doing things against my will, going against the grain
                 feeling pressured,scared in what was in store
                   i still went along,maybe afraid maybe obliged

                      I was far from a violent child, upbringing didn`t match
                        the black sheep that i was,other five not  blemish
                          although leaving school with eight cse`s 
                            i chose the road that leads to lower depths
