Anyone who's ever been mistreated, especially as a child, can relate to this song. I've had my share of bullies and tormenters but probably the worst was my kindergarten teacher...yes, my teacher. the woman who was supposed to be teaching me and helping me along, apparently found it was more fun to single me out and humiliate me at every turn. If I made a mistake, she pointed it out to the whole class, encouraging them to laugh at me. She even called me stupid. One time, I needed to use the restroom badly, but she wouldn't let me go, so...well...i pissed myself. And just a whole bunch other shit she put me through. I was finally taken out of her class. She was supposedly reprimanded (sp?) but I assume because of politics, she was able to keep her job. I was put in a much better teacher's class, but the damage was done. I've never really recovered from her abuse, though, i'm doing better now than I ever have. Unlike Aaron, I haven't been able to forgive my tormenter yet, but I do hope it fucks with her, and I think there's a chance it might. Her two "perfect" sons, one's in prison for murder and the other's a loser druggie, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't get some satisfaction from that. So, anyway, thats my story.
I am so grateful to Aaron Lewis for making music that lets people like me that we're not alone. I'm forever a Staind fan.
