I remember
being happy.
I remember
being the happy child
always there to make people smile.
I remember
liking pink, bright colors
playing on the playground.
Making myself dizzy
to where I thought the earth
Was swaying.
back and forth it went.
But the truth was held
in my future.
I remember
becoming aware
that life
wasn't a fairytale.
I remember
being pushed around
by people
that I thought
cared about me.
I remember
crying myself to sleep
hoping the next day would be better.
It never was.
I remember
being told that
I wasn't good enough.
I remember
all of the words,
Gay
Ugly
Fat
Stupid
they would call me.
all because I liked someone.
I remember
believing them.
Believing I was those things,
and using it against me.
But they don't know
that
I remember.
They may be my friends now
but
I remember
the things they use to say
and I will
never
forget.
