No Mind of my Own
I was brought into this world with no mind of my own,
Seeing time fly by I knew I had no control.
Since the time I remembered I was only just five years old,
Sitting in play time by myself, I was alone.
I did'nt get along with others,
To say I was a victim.
Bullying, such a word I learned to loath, it was horrific.
I was just five years old, with no mind of my own.
Why was it that no one listened, I will never know.
Just a small little girl wishing for things to change,
So I picked up a pencil and paper, and sat down at my desk.
It all started with me just writing how I feel,
Get my emotions on paper, I felt as though I was in charge of the wheel.
The wheel that would guide me through these hard times,
Just a small little girl, finding new ways to rhyme.
As time went on, my vocabulary grew,
I became wiser, understanding, hoping maybe things would change
But the arguments at home, just would'nt go away.
Yet to think this all started with a small simple mind.
Me, a girl, who always closed her eyes.
Imagining a place with a deeper meaning, better life, better tone
But this place was so far,
I had no mind of my own.
Fifth grade came by, God knew that I was happy.
To graduate with beautiful grades, i was more than overjoyed,
Ecstatic.
I had a better understanding of the world,
I realized I had a say,
In the bad things I knew i wanted to go away.
I finally spoke up, it was time, now a powerful young girl,
Who can say, she truly does have a mind of her own.
