Special Kid

Placed out of L.D class in grade seven

Vocational school at grade eleven

But always kept the I.E.P

Teachers always acted as if I couldn’t see

Compared to me everyone else was ranked above me

Convinced myself that I don’t need nobody to love me

When ever they got close I’d push them away

I messed up at the end and I knew it

Eats at me, lookin back coulda been happy but blew it

Tried to fill the gap everyday I was tipsy

Probably got the habbit from my family

Got worse as so on with the sorrow

Didn’t wanna  get up till tomorrow

Nobody to rely on, parents hated me

They said nobody loves an idiot that’s L.D

thanks, i usually mess up a

thanks, i usually mess up a little on spelling :x its my main weakness... yeah though. its the main event that messed me up in my life i think. people look at L.D. students very negatively and it kills me. but now look at me when i was in 8th grade they gave me a test and said my math skills are the same as a collage student. so just because somebody may seem to be... slow.. does not mean they are =)

Agreed

I hate the judgment past on by others, can be hard to overthrow, and being slow just means you'll be the fastest in the long run, people who don't get a head start tend to go the farthest.

Thats very unhealthy

Don't ever let them have power over you, no matter what your circumstances, people are people, we all bleed, hurt, and breathe, therefore for one to cast a stone at another is a casting upon their own insecurity. They cut off their own heads when they bash on another, to draw attention to themselves so that they might have that spotlight for that brief moment, and feel better then everyone around them. They are wrong, and all this does is breed hate, and pain. not just for other people but karmas a bitch, and one day they will pay for their deeds.
