Struggles in School and Life
I was very smartAs a young man in school
But I struggled to learn
Because my father was so cruel.
My mind wouldn't free me
From the thoughts of his actions
The beatings he gave me
Were an extreme distraction.
The simple things just
simply made no sense
I started to believe
I must really be that dense.
I had that desire to be
something special in this life.
But it kept being wiped out
By the creation of all his strife.
I carry the scars outside
As well as within
I felt at times
My bones were paper thin.
My heart was crushed
Oh so many times
I thought I would never
Be able to make things rhyme.
