Childhood Poem by Jac Harper

Childhood

Rating: 5.0


i am twisted
i am turned
i am flicked
i am burned

i am lifted then let fall
i am nothing much at all
in the way when out of sight
the unseen cause of every fight

inside out and upside down
back to front and round and round
never will amount to much
something to be shunned and touched

why try now to fix me up
i am just a broken cup
amongst the pile of shattered things
that being in my family means.

The feeling of never being good enough and not worthy enough to be given time by your own flesh and blood is depressing at best. What a pathetic little world full of pathetic little people messing with our childhood...I'm rambling again. I like the poem.
