C. S. Phoenix - Target Practice

I never knew why
You hated me so much
I kept to myself
And didn't bother you
I just wanted to succeed
So my parents would see me
Somehow
That made me a target

I still wear the scar
Of the day
I ran from you
Throwing rocks at me
It wasn't the first time I felt like an animal
But it was hard not to feel like a treed coon
I tried to climb high enough
To get out of range
To use the branches as extra protection
Somehow falling from a 50-foot evergreen
Was less scary than you

I was just a little girl
I don't even remember your name
