An Example

(. things other people do that stays impregnated in your psychi)

Jane Ayre.  
it's a classic. ...
I watch the tale unfold,
poor girl was never
loved, by those..
entrusted to care,
for her,
I feel drawn in,
to a fictional tale
of tragedy and 
spiteful revenge..
Mr Rochester draws
Jane out..
" you're not beautiful.."
but her. manner and
heart are true..
She has no wish to talk
nonsense..
a vivid restless captive
in a hostile wretched
world..
at the school..
Her Master makes
Jane stand on a chair..
in class..and ostracized
her..it's then I was a taken back..
My teacher did that!
to me..
I had to stand on my chair..
at age seven..
Like Jayne Ayre..
for talking..
(Although everyone else was..)
and I was scared..
So after a while..
I released my bodily functions.
and wee' d all over the floor.
But..I stood there like,
the statue of Liberty..
That couldn't be 
"Swept under the carpet'
and I didn't care..
You really shouldn't
put children in situations
Like that..is it any
wonder I don't like
heights...I Wither...
but I feel so much passion
for those ' singled out'
people, in hind sight..
and I will always
stand up for the less
fortunate..

Oh you! You so make me laugh with your fuck off attitude Pauline. I do get what you mean though...wrong generation. Today it would be the teacher put on the chair for daring to interrupt the kid!! X

when i was kid 
if you were bad
they put you in
the coat closet 
and close the door
or you sat on chair
in the corner facing the wall
wearing dunce hat

Yes, they did that in my time..put notes on your back..like I AM A THIEF..and you are only 5..I thought, tinker tailor soldier sailor..Thief? how do they know he's a thief and he's only 5..? I wanted to rip the note off the lads back, all day he had it, I still remember that kid, and I thought if they did that to me, I'd shove it down their throats. ..
