a loser
i was a fucking loser in middle school
i had the worst hair
i had no money to purchase the latest styles
and some days i could barely afford school lunch
the boys would walk past me in the hallway and remind me how i wasn't apart of their fantasies
"aurora is a bore-a" and then they'd laugh
stupid and corny yet it would hurt me to the core
girls would remind me how i would never be apart of their plans
when the school called my mom and said they concerned about my well beingi expected some sort of major intervention
my mom didn't give a shit. she just patted my back and said they were probably jealous
instead, a generic shrink with major issues of his own sat in front of me and started prying into my personal family life
"you were born premature, correct"
"your father is most likely not in the picture"
"are you experimenting with drugs?"
they more statements than they were questions
middle school in a nutshell was hell
i could tell already that high school would be no better
