School days seemed such cruel days Things went wrong in quite a few ways Everything anybody said Seemed an alien language The playground was always like a battleground I was the one no-one wanted to be around I was always the one who stood out I learnt to be my own best friend On myself I learnt to depend Days of playing would never end Ever hour God sent I would spend That kept me happy I learnt to live my fantasy lived in a world where I was free to be what I wanted to do what I wanted.
