Terza Rima Day 3. Life.

This Month Kat Myrman has suggested a new theme for the daily poem—the Terza Rima, writing one stanza each day.
A terza rima consists of stanzas of three lines (or tercets) usually in iambic pentameter. It follows an interlocking rhyming scheme, or chain rhyme. This is where the middle of each stanza rhymes with the first and last line of the following stanza. There is no set length to this form, as long as it follows

I shall be joining Kat Myrman and Jane Dougherty in this challenge.

Life… A Terza Rima,

I learned to read and write at school.

Yet they did not want me to think

I was bullied, pushed around, I was named a fool.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Installment 3 of Life for this month’s Terza Rima Daily Poem Challenge, one tercet at a time.

Here is a poem I wrote   about how being bullied at school made me feel.

Rounded shoulders head hung down why do they all make fun of me I am not a clown. Sitting in the row spiteful girls stick their pens in my legs teacher at the front she must never know, she wouldn’t help she treats me like the  dregs.

Following me nearly home calling me mean names , in the playground I always stand alone they don’t pick me for their games. Opening my desk finding it’s been trashed , my text book been drawn in and my favourite doll has been  smashed.

Mum tried her hardest but being the youngest of six my things did not get replaced they just got fixed. My plimsolls were the wrong colour they were black instead of white , I was hauled up on the stage, lectured in front of the school then had to stay on late that night. I just could not make it I could not win with staff and girls against me all I could do was just give in.

I met my boyfriend, and his friends did not like me because I spoke differently, I was from the posh school  they though I was rich and had it made so little did they know. When we  were out or at a party they were pleasant to my face but if my guy was not there, behind my back the things they said were just a disgrace. They joined the line of teachers and my piers it makes me wonder now how I stood it for all those years.

I am not saying I no friends, no that would not be true. I did have friends and they were good   but they were the very few. I always felt so ugly, too fat and too short and if anyone was nice to me I could not believe it what do they want was my first thought.

Things got better when I started work I seemed to come out of my shell like a little butterfly I changed and put aside my days of living hell. They tell you don’t  they, school days are the best days of your life , thank God I never listened or I would of ended mine with a knife.

Thank God I grew away from all the pain  but sometimes I see a face  hear a voice or a name and it all floods back again. I am older now and have all that I could ask for, family and friends but sometimes my calm deserts me and confidence takes flight,  fear and dark descends and I feel lost in the night. I ask the question now why children’s jibes and actions  can be so mean and cruel. The worse days of my life were my years at school. I cry each time I read or hear on the news how children can hurt each ,it is nothing less than abuse.

And now a song from Immie

Today’s poem is about Love, it  dark and  bright sides. What’s  more it is  a new one !!

What  is  Love ?
Love hurts it makes you bleed

It is cruel and on your soul it will feed.

Love whispers poison in your ears

Hurting your feelings, feeding your fears.

Love smothers and strangles

Sucking out all the good

Like ivy wrapping you up in  tangles.

You can’t sleep, you can’t eat food.

Love is a sunny day full of flowers

Spent gazing into those eyes for hours.

A kiss on the neck a brush of the hand

Under blue skies ain’t love grand.

 

Love a promise a thousand times I do

A rainbow of ribbons edged in lace

A reason to greet each morning anew

It is the look on the your lovers face.

 

Love is everything and nothing  too

Love is different for me than it is for you

At it’s best it is hotter  than the sun

At it’s worst you wish you’d never begun

Love is the best love is worst

Love in your heart, love on your sleeve

Love is an illness love is curse

Love is fleeting,nor yet will not leave.
