I am sorry for all the trouble I have caused, br then Mum says' go back to school! br .'Oh! but Mum, do I have to, br everyone can be so cruel! So back to school br I went with a daily feeling of resentment. br I sat in the history class, br I thought I was doing fine, br then when it came to the marking br there was a mistake in every line. br All the answers, were correct, br but was there any reason why, br that I should get such low marks, br and there was no second try. br Heart broken, resentful oh how I worked br so hard, yet no matter how I pushed myself br there were always red marks on my card br My report card made me sick, so I started to rebel. br every time I went to school, br it was like visiting, a place called hell. br Bad marks for this, br bad marks for that, br No wonder I was always on, br The Head's, carpet mat. br My Maths were top dollar br because I didn't have to spell br but I lost marks for that br because I was beaten by the bell. br I could not spell arithmetic, br I found the word very hard, br so I was set to write it, a thousand times, br out in the, cold school yard. br I was always on my own, br at play time and lunch br because the other kids pulled faces, br and called me a silly dunce. br It was time for decision br so I broke a school rule, br got myself expelled br and became a bigger fool. br I went though life, br not knowing how to spell, br but now I think br what the hell, br The years have flown, br and time has gone fast br those tormented days br lay hidden in the past. br Life has seen me, br become a great writer, br and has given me the fullfillment, br of a life that is brighter.
