Target

Sitting down 
Staring into space 
I hear a sharp sound 
Which  was a disgrace 

A friend
Included me into a sentence 
It made me go insane 
It kept repeating in head agian and agian

I remember those sat besides me 
Giggling 
Whispering 
Pointing



I went silent around my friend 
I never wanted to spend time with person again
I wanted to say a million and one things 
But in the end i stay silent and carried on doing my own thing 

I felt all my happy memories
Like me childhood
Was torn into tiny ,tiny, tiny pieces

A friend thought it was a joke
I wanted to hide away and I hoped we never spoke 
It wasn’t true what my friend said 
It was the feeling of being a target
