Images From My Life

Mummy left me crying
At school, for the first time
2 years later
Jonny was born
A golden angel
10 years or so went by
And then that magic night occurred
The rain drummed on my skin
And your face burnt into my mind
Your soft lips kissed mine
I still remember
My own squeals of excitement
When Dad brought home
Two baby guinea pigs
The sad night
When my best friend left
I waved goodbye to her
From the back seat in the car
Moving schools was hard
I was the new girl
Settling in was harder
When they call you "Midget!"
Then college began
The best 2 years so far
Meeting new people and
Forgetting the pain of secondary school
Leaving college was tough
Passing my exams was tougher
Especially as I was ill
Riddled with depression
Then on 15th August
My life changed forever
I got into university
Mum screamed
I cried, and now
I'm here.
