Too Young

Hi, I’m Terry, what’s your name?
I’m 9, hey, lets play a game
A game where you don’t have to be yourself
But maybe a superhero instead, or anyone else

If I could choose, I’d be Superman
I’d put bad people in jail, like my old daddy
Mommy said he hit me when I was littler,
And she said that’s why I think slower

I wish she was home more like she used to be
I wish I could tell her how much I hate her smoking
I don’t like breathing not good, or my chest hurting,
But I’d hate if she got sick, and left me alone again

I hate being in the special class, I hate being dumb,
I hate never being able to remember anything,
I hate the way I walk funny, I hate the mean kids too

Hi, my name is Terry, who are you?
