Thoughts of a Bullied Child

The buzzards picked my bones apart,
the only thing left was my bleeding heart.

They buried me deep then dug me up ,
I guess I wasn't dead enough.

They buried me again and left me to be,
in pain I was left whilst my heart still bleeds.

I only wanted to be just me,
but the buzzards wouldn't let it be.

They gathered around to pick my bones,
I pleaded with God to take me home.

He scooped me up and made me whole,
and gave me wings as white as snow.
