"A little piece of leather"

"I'm a little piece of leather , well put together."  I think that theory concerning Napoleonic personality types is true.  Not, in all cases, but perhaps in mine.

I am short.  Some say extremely short.  I no longer measure five feet tall.  I was always small.  Always the smallest kid in the class or in the group.  Often the only black kid as well.  I was picked on but not for long.  I was a fool!  I would **** you up.  You soon learned to not **** with me.

I never got off your ass either.  We were enemies for life.  I was unforgiving.  I was human.  Don't get me wrong, I was a good person.  I did not lie, steal or disobey.  I was a good student, a good citizen.  I did not litter and believe it or not, I did not curse (much) in school.

Would I try to kill you?  Would I plot your excruciating death?  If I thought you wronged me.

I am almost laughing now because little did I know, what I was going through.

Praise the LORD!
