Book of FoolsA Poem by SmittyJasThe story of my lifeThis is a book of fools Changed all the rules I was a simple child Not given a chance for success They said I would be a loser at best Couldn't complete with the rest It was middle of the road or take the highway charlie brown Most people treated me like a clown My pants was ragged and torn My shirt had holes in it wasn't to be warn People laughed at me when I was young didn't give me a chance to prove I could express myself or read out loud for a crowd this was not aloud My Parents backed me up and said they were proud They treated me like a spoiled child. So as I grew older a certain pain was on my back The pain of being pick on and kicked around Life change for me one day I fought back you know Took away my pain I was not a loser no more They erased my name from the book of fools Fixed some broken ribs and a bloody nose And then I rose like a sky scraper a big building in the sky No one could take away my pride I survived I came alive I had friends who had friends and I made many more friends in the end
