Adult Education


from the ABC set Poems

The writing is on the wall
But I can’t seem to read it.
The writing is on the wall
Perhaps I am dyslexic.
The writing on the wall
But I refuse to believe it.

My “friends” delight in reading
The words out for my education.
Until I cannot deny the truth.
The writing on the wall.

I want to take a rubber
And erase out every line;
But you carved them on my heart
And I will bear their trace a long, long time.

is this autobiographical, about something that happened to you? it reads as being very personal, it reads very well and i can't see anything that needs changing, well done
