Robbed

I was robbed of my years, I was robbed of my days, I was robbed of hello's I was robbed of the hey's, I only saw black and white, I was robbed of the grey's, I was robbed of the fun, I was robbed of the phase. I was robbed of romance, I was robbed of high school, yes my time there was short, what I got was uncool, everyone strayed from me, yes I felt like a ghoul, I was robbed of events, I was robbed of the pool. I was robbed of the test, I never had a sweetheart, I was robbed of the stage, I was robbed of the cart, I was robbed of projects, I was robbed of the part, I was robbed of music, I was robbed of the art. I was robbed of the cap, I was robbed of the gown, every time I think about it I want to cry I want to frown, I was robbed of my queen, I was robbed of my crown, I was robbed of the up, I was robbed of the down. I was robbed of P.E, I was robbed of the track, I was robbed of the girls, even though that I lack, I was robbed of the sports, I was robbed of my pack, didn't like what I had, I’d just skip class and slack. I was robbed of the lunch, I was robbed of the meals, I was robbed of nature, I was robbed of the feels, I was robbed of my friends, I was robbed of the deals, I was robbed of my prom, I was robbed of the wheels. I was robbed of spiked punch, I was robbed of a date, I was robbed of prom sex, graduation was great, (cough cough sarcasm) I was robbed of the choice, I was robbed of soul mate, what I got was instead, more abuse on my plate. I was robbed of the joy, I was robbed of the tears, I was robbed of balloons, I was robbed of careers, I was robbed of the song, I was robbed of my peers, I was robbed of my life, and it still grinds my gears.

An amazing write - you had the gall to say it all and I loved the way it ended - I hope you get to rob some of it back . . . ; )
