Eight years old, Every day at school, I get kicked and pushed around. Too many times my face has hit the ground. But I get up and laugh it off But when I got home I cried. Twelve years old, Each day at home, And mum has left dad now. Too many arguments, too many rows. But I go on, pretend I don’t care. But when I’m alone, I cry. Sixteen years old, Every day at school, And she left me for that ******** Josh Just because he’s got money and he’s posh. But I go on, with a smile on my face. But when I see her, I cry. Twenty-one now, I’ve got my degree, With knowledge in my hands. No one there to congratulate me, How much neglect can one man stand? But I go home and put a note on the fridge About how Josh’s mum cried. Twenty-eight years old, And I’m happy, Got the girl of my dreams by my side, A ring in my coat pocket, a surprise, I’m trying to hide. I’m down on one knee And when she says yes, She cries. Thirty-six years old, She left me, Took the kids with her too. She didn’t hear me say, ‘But I still love you.’ But she did not love me anymore And in the kitchen I cried. Forty-five, overweight. Nothing in my life to live for, Daughter-hates me. My son thinks I’m a **** I’m tired of life, beating me with a stick. But I must stay strong around people. But when no one’s around, I cry. Sixty-five and nothing’s changed. No wife, no friends, no hope. The only difference is, I’m balding. And with no one around, I get no scolding. But I wish to be shouted at, any interaction would be nice. But in the limelight of the television, As I sit alone. No future in my vision, I close my eyes, and I wish to finally die.

Life As We Know It
