I've tried a lot of things
I've prayed a lot of times
But I'm still terrified of the needle that pierces my veins
Cried and cried
Shut my eyes
Clench my fists
A pain that never seems to quit
Helpful act
Leaving nothing but a dimple
In my brain though, it's not so simple
No child
But I remember
When I was a child
Over and over
Needle after needle
Again and again
Sickness with no end
Stuck with a fear
Bred inside my head
A fight I cannot fight
A threat I will always detect
No neglect
Just a kid who hid the hounding
Behind a sickness with no end
I've prayed a lot of times
But I'm still terrified of the needle that pierces my veins
Cried and cried
Shut my eyes
Clench my fists
A pain that never seems to quit
Helpful act
Leaving nothing but a dimple
In my brain though, it's not so simple
No child
But I remember
When I was a child
Over and over
Needle after needle
Again and again
Sickness with no end
Stuck with a fear
Bred inside my head
A fight I cannot fight
A threat I will always detect
No neglect
Just a kid who hid the hounding
Behind a sickness with no end
When I was in 1st grade I was bullied a lot and had a lot of fear while at school so I would make myself sick and go home pretty often. Because no one knew I started having tests done at the hospital which involved a lot of needles.
