I hide so no one sees

The scared little boy

Inside of me

The one that was teased

Tormented and berated

The lost little soul

So alone so hated

He flinches when people

Come to close to him

Afraid of letting any one

Come in

He cries in the dark so alone so weak

He stays in his shell

So he won’t get beat

He cannot speak up to say enough

Leave me be

He lacks confidence

To be happy and free

As he lies on the floor

No power to stand

He lies marred by the memories

Of a huge heavy hand

And words that ring in his ears

Clear as day

The same ones that haunt him

And won’t go away

You’re not good enough

You loser

You’ll never do well

For many years he had

His own hell
