My Childhood Escape

Sitting in the field
wind blowing on my face now
seems so long ago

always teased in school
I never knew how to cope
I felt so alone

my sancutary
that field was my home
hiding in tall grass

I never fit in
did not dress like the others
they called me bad things

the woods I played in
and in those trees I called home
no one could hurt me

we were very poor then
sometimes went without dinner
no one understood

today I look back
and not much has changed since then
but that field is gone
