You Made a Fool of Me – Written Between Tuesday 15th February 1994 and November 1994 (Aged 18/19) )

You Made a Fool of Me

you made a fool of me
but i guess i deserved it
why is life so much pain?
why is it so shit?
reincarnation once again –
you made an adult
you told me about yourself
you said,
you were a child at heart
and that you did not care
about the things you do
but you are the most adult person –
i have met
and the joke is on you
not so bloody irresponsible
like all adults do to children
making them look like fools
from the moment they begin
never setting them free
and i am a child, so –
i guess that is what you did to me




James Garratt – 1994
