All I want, is to go to school
and not be made to look a fool.
"Please God, make the girls and boys
play today with store bought toys"
I will be good, I won't be bad
and if they don't play, I won't be sad.
"If you can hear me talk to you
then, tell me just what I must do"
It's true there isn't one like me
anywhere... for them to see.
"Was I really meant to cry
and hate each day as it goes by?"
All I only want today, is
not to hear that word they say.
"Just want to be left on my own
or be with you before I'm grown"

This is a rewrite and amalgamation of two pieces I wrote about fifty odd years ago, (1954/55ish)
I am loathe to edit, add or rewrite anything of old stuff of mine... as
it is all of happenings and of real emotions which are of a time passed, and,
they were actually written then, by that child.
