Because in your head you are not home

When I was younger I was an angry boy
with no real understanding of the anger that I felt..
I hated my parents (who I didn't know)
my grandparents
the kids at school
but more than anything..I hated myself..

I hate my parents for leaving me.  Unless you went through it, you have no real understanding how hard it is for a child to think that his or her parents didn't want them.  What's wrong with me?

On top of that, I was left with a Grandmother and step-Grandfather who resented having to take care of three more kids.  It made us all very poor...but what was worse than anything was the lack of compassion.  I never received hugs or I love you's ever.  Let me tell you...that will make you an angry child..

I hated the kids at school for all the wrong reasons.  I was poor and beaten on a regular basis...the worst thing the kids at school could do was pile on to that...but you know they did.  When I was young it hurt pretty bad, but when I got to high school...it turned into depression and loads of feeling sorry for myself.  NOe, I don't blame most people for staying away...I pushed them there...I didn't want them...I didn't want love...or at least I didn't think so..

I was bred to hate myself.  I hated everything about me.  How I looked, thought, acted, and I believed me to be a worthless human being.  This is the only one that still affects me...I still think I'm a worthless idiot..tis true!

But the others I have come to terms with, whether it be me or someone else that caused the problems...it's over now...kids were kids...angry parents were angry...it's all over.

The only thing I want to be in this life is a good father and husband.  And Lord willing...I will be..
