I am that kid who grew up in public school
that kid who usually followed most rules.

I am the kid who was bullied by many
had a few friends, but really not any.

I am the one who will shop your Instacart order 
and yet ware my feelings on my shoulder.

I am the bus monitor on a special needs bus
I interact with the children so they don't fuss.

I am the woman with a wonderful man
he is the start and finish of what I am.

I am a Princess a Child of Jesus The King 
Jesus Christ is Lord of my life and my everything.

This is very nice, Miranda. Were you really bullied? So sad if you were. I recall two different boys who chased me home from school in grade school calling me names and holding spiders and stuff. I really hated those two guys!

Yes, I was bullied by many kids in my school growing up. Ironically I knew where the three people that bullied me the most lived. My absolute biggest nemesis lived a few houses down across the street, the 2nd bully lived in the house that directly managed the trailer park granny and gramps lived in, and the 3rd one less than a block away from my house. There were others. That was grade school, then there were more bullies in Middle and High School.
