I Remember

I remember when I was born. The memories have not gone. He is like a girl, not a man. Made to feel, I cost a lot. Better off without this Tot. I remember.not enough to eat. From the table, hungry go. Stealing wind falls, from the snow. Hiding under the table, to escape. Cups and plates, they throw. Shouting and screaming, Here they go I hear it still. I remember my school days. Standing face to wall. Getting the cane, for nothing at all. When time to go home, the bullies I see. The gang is waiting for me. I remember the black eye. Walked into a lamp post, I did lie. Torn cloths, They are not new, ploy. Go to your room, you naughty boy. I remember late at night, Hearing a noise that made me fright. Under the blanket I froze. Who's there nobody knows. Running in my mind. Not moving and blind. I remember running with all my might, To escape a fight. Survival lay in flight Crying and screaming. God help me.
