Jealousy Poem by Angel Hills

Jealousy



i think i am jealous of my cousins
i hear the books they read
i hear the games they play
i hear the discipline they receive

and its not fair
they get to live
while i was trapped in a house not a home
while discipline was wooden spoons and belts
while books were about kindness
not about what the difference might look like

i knew i had ADHD yet i never actually heard about it
i just had it
i was dragged across carpeted floors
i was left outside the classroom
i was excluded from my own 'friends'
nobody wanted who i was

i think i am Jealous.....
