Confessions of a Pre-Teenage Witch


Oh, boohoo,
they teased me too.
More than once 
I felt a dunce.

Even some teachers 
sat in the bleachers 
and joined in the fun,
of humiliating someone. 

Yes, we all had to hear it, 
the block bully, full of mean spirit,
others gather round 
while you're put down. 

Makes you wish 
you were the witch
they said you was, 
simply because, 

your beautiful rare name 
is exactly the same 
as some cartoon chick
who rides a broomstick. 

Sabrina - an old Anglo Saxon word,
or so I've heard. 
I understand it to mean
Princess. Or, future Queen. 

*Oh, how I wanted to take those brats,
and feed them to my bats. *
