Notes About The Poem

I Jumped

I was just a kid
Lost in a world of grownups
I was often with a sad eye
I never admitted the cry
The street was not a happy place
Seekers of the dark
With adult leers
I was so so filled with abject fear
Twm mocked, even though de-frocked
Chasing the pains and nightmares
Glamorgan was full of bridges
Under which the trolls held vigils
For Twm chased many to death
As I ran and I ran, as fast
As my little feet can
I reached the bridge
On top I stand
A child’s fear drowned

I jumped

Tim Smith March 19, 2017 at 10:27 PM Bully's if convicted of causing a child to harm themself should be required to register as a offender just the same as a pedophile. There needs more to be done as I even see in adults that putting down another human being just a joke.
