The Last School Bell

      You always tried to beat me and put me down,
I wondered why, but you laughed at my frown.
I never hurt you, I was too quiet in class
      I kept my head down when you walked past.

      You always made sure I was angry or sad,
You never said sorry and that made me mad
Whenever I did something worthy of praise,
      No doubt you’ll do better given a few days.

      I chose to do a subject, you chose to do the same.
You’d embarrass me whenever they shouted my name,
I tried not to let it bother me when you walked in,
      Head held high and that stupid looking grin.

      You stole my ideas and made them your own,
When I confronted you, you spoke in that tone
That made my skin crawl and I wanted to scream,
      You even tried to beat me when we were working as a team.

      Then the rumours started and they had me confused
You should have heard the words they used.
He’s is love, they tell me, in love with you,
      How can this be? You fooled me too.

      I couldn’t care less if this was true,
I’m not heartless, look what you’ve put me through.
I fought to be the best but my own words were in my way,
      I was facing my own ideas, it was your idea of play.

      How could I let you get to me
When all you’ve ever done is try to beat me?
I don’t think your competitive nature is sweet,
      So stay away, I’m the one you can’t beat.

      You damaged my confidence but I will mend.
I guess you did me some good in the end.
You made me try harder and harder to win.
      And I promised myself I’d never give in.

      I was scared to see you leave that day,
You passed me a glance, you didn’t need to say
That this was goodbye to all our school years.
     They’ve gone now, wasted in jeers.

      You’ve changed me somehow, I didn’t realise.
When I left school, I felt my confidence rise.
All my misery with you had ended with such a big shock
     I became a person who was more than just talk.

      Growing up has given us different paths,
And in many years when we meet at last,
You're standing with your beautiful wife,
     Your two baby girls and a whole new life.

      It’s funny the way our lives became,
The way you look exactly the same
I have changed and I know you can tell,
      I’ve become a better person since that last school bell.
