On the fourteenth day of November, 1982,
I was born into this world, blonde hair and eyes of blue.
Got myself up on my feet before I was one year old,
I've always been ahead of myself at least that's what I'm told.
Off I toddled though three and four, nothing got in my way,
At five I got a uniform, went to school the very next day.
A popular child with many friends, just a little overweight,
Bullied and called names as soon as I got through the gate.
It really never bothered me, I was a happy girl,
Secretly looking forward to taking on the world.
Reading and writing came on strong, mathematics was a breeze,
My teacher often told me I learned with such an ease.
After eleven years of junior school off to big school I would go,
But my parents had some news for me that came as a bit of a blow.
We were moving house you see, not just another street,
650 miles away, I didn't see it as a treat.
Moving to a pub they said, our lives would be just great,
And I think from that very second was the first time I experienced hate.
I hated the different people and the place I had to live,
And I hated the fact my parents had no more love to give.
Always busy working, "didn't have the time"
And that's the point within my life my words began to rhyme.
I put my pen to paper and guess I never stopped, I write about the bad things and the people I have lost.
I fell in love at fifteen, bought a house then bought a car,
I should've known our relationship would never get that far.
At sixteen I lost my dad, cancer took him away from me,
My life I owe to my partner back then, if I tell you truthfully.
Then I lost my baby, nothing they could do,
and that's when it all ended, my relationship was through.
Standing on my own two feet, upon no one I could rely,
But deep down right inside of me were no tears left to cry.
I got myself all strong again, even wore a smile,
But little did I know what would happen in a while.
I went out for a walk one night, off to see a friend,
And meeting with my rapist was where the happiness would end.
Slowly I rebuilt myself, got my head around the pain,
And now I have my confidence back, am happy once again.
So I guess this is my story, put out for all to see,
Read it and be critical but please don't pity me.
My life has made me stronger, the person I am today,
And as crazy as it may sound to you, I wouldn't have it any other way.
