An intro to me

in poetry •  8 years ago 

Just a short note on the subject of me
I've never read the book but I know this story
76 was the year of my painful birth
I breathed my first breath and maybe pee'd on a nurse
A mother a father a brother a son
This was my family, my journey begun
Years passed by, nothing too bad
I said my first words and grew into a healthy lad
Soon enough school had arrived
The funny thing was, it was not a place that I thrived
Never enough was the tune of those days
Nothing I did ever earned me any praise
So a rebel was born, I'll be dam good at this
Over half a years worth of classes I started to miss
More interested in weed, getting stoned was my thing
That got me some attention, I told them "it's a hay fever thing"
When I vomited in class and sent to the nurse
"This boys on drugs" and that was my curse.
So I ended school with middling c's
But worse was to come, The whites and the B's
Not long after my parents split
Pointing at me saying it's because of "it"
That blame was my burden it killed me inside
I believed I was rotten and I started to slide
Into a room I rented and stayed
I was kicked out of my own house, £30 I was payed
From a fun loving boy I grew into a ghoul
Just a ghost of a being and feeling so small
I was offered some gear "this'l help you walk tall
I smoked that H and it all became clear
I felt nothing at all except that heaven was near
If I just took some more my hurt would be gone
This was that place, I wanted to belong
Of course I was doomed to become what I believed
That good for nothing boy from the time I was conceived
from 18 to 30 I spent mostly in jail
If not there then I was in my own personal hell
Then I promised myself when I hit 3 and 0
That I'm never coming back to this place, no no
I made changes in my life and began a new sheet
The music did change a different rhythm and beat
Now 10 years have passed and I'm here on this day
having never gone back, I'm out here to stay
I've had my struggles, not an easy ride for sure
I've slipped and I've stumbled but I've gained so much more
On I could ramble about my disjointed life
But now I must go, thanks for reading, goodnight.
