I AM A HUMAN

I am a human of skin and bone That has always felt alone My parents ruled with fear A heavy use of fists when near Autism limited me to learn So Teachers neglect in turn Children thought it was fun To bully me and run I am a human of skin and bone To afraid to challenge them all My head is full of darkness As humans can be heartless I have done nothing wrong But punished all along I don't want to run and hide But one person's by my side A person who had a glow Loved and helped me grow Taught me to be nice Who gave lifes great advice I am a human of skin and bone With years full of lists of foes A lot of anger built inside My temper I could not hide Fights caused a lot of hurt With bruises and bloody shirts The trouble that I got in Made me look like a sin Parents aren't in my phonebook Bullies tremble with one look School is a thing of the past But hatred for teachers last I am a human of skin and bone Constantly frown and moan Needing something to change Redirect me from the rage A pen carved me a new path Writing jokes to make laughs Funny poems full of rhyme Helped me in tough times It was easy to write about pain Life stories and try in vain To capture lifes whole truths While I battle on through I am a human of skin and bone Learning to write on my own Spelling came with ease Grammar was more tricky Now an accomplished poet With my books taken credit Awards and competitions won And it all felt like fun Finally getting my life on track Trying not to look back I now have a baby to keep safe Who'll never have evil to face
