I Might Know Why

 
I feel sad and scared and don't know why

I'll be the last guy chosen for the footy team
maybe it's because
I can't kick all that good
who wants someone that can't play anyway

I feel sad and scared and don't know why

I find mouldy sandwiches in my bag
perhaps they thought I looked hungry
being that my recess and lunch always went missing
nothing like the smell of
of soggy old cheese and tomato

I feel sad and scared and I don't know why

my legs buckle with fear
as I walk the halls alone
any minute now the chase will be on
run rabbit, run
past the toilet blocks
where the smokers congregate
no reprieve to be found
cornered by the gym

I feel sad and scared and I don't know why

they ask me how I want it
the face or the stomach
arms black and blue
what did I ever do to you

I feel sad and scared and I don't know why
every day is a battle and a test
character building I guess
