I thought I had a handle on life
But I was dead wrong
I would be very distant
Making others think I was strong
Then this strange thing happened
I have know idea why
I woke up one morning
Then something scary caught my eye
There was a man in my room
He had a bully-like feature
Then I finally figured out
He was my old teacher
He said to me quietly
Why do you put up a wall?
Why do you stay distant?
Did an old friend make you fall?
He held my neck tightly
His grip was too strong
I thought I had a handle on life
But I was DEAD wrong!
