When i was growing up,
i had a real good laugh.
lots of sad things happened,
but there was lots of laughter too,
i was quiet a tough kid,
nothing got me down.
my feelings all were hidden
i kept them all inside,
this is what im good at,
the real me, is what i hide
.
i learnt it from a early age,
when my heart was broke in two
when my mother left me
didnt know what to do.
my dad has always been there
when my life was not so good
with him i share, i special bond
my dad will tell the truth.
that day i can clearly see it
as if it is a dream
she took my brothers with her
left me to cry and scream!
i sobbed ,i cried the whole night
until so tired i fell to sleep
i questioned what i did wrong,
why she loved them ,but never me
that day i realised a lot of things
about me being me.
i thought that i was ugly
had red hair, was skinny too
was my mum ashamed of me
what else could it be.
but dad he always loved me
and not for anything
he loved me cos i was unique
he could always see.
but that time it really changed me,
when i was 10 years old
it made me hard, inside my heart
keep my distance,dont get too close
i try & do this with most
then no one could ever hurt me again
like that ,
no one ever will
i'll keep that memory forever,
it just wont go away.
