Letter to a Bully

Dear Bully,

You've made my life

A living hell.

You judged me without even

Trying to get to know me.

It started on the day I

Walked into the classroom.

Before I knew it,

I started to believe

Everything you told me.

You made my mind like

A prison cell;

I'm too scared to say what

I really think about

The society we live in.

Because of you,

My mirror tells me obscene truths.

I see anything but beauty.

Instead, I see my flaws.

They all pop out at me

And attack me with their presence.

It's your fault that whenever

I'm alone, I'm constantly worrying

If my friends actually care,

Or if they just pity me.

You caused me to keep quiet

When all I wanted to do is

Scream, screech, shout and shriek.

But you never knew my pain.

You never cared.

I was your punching bag.

If only you had known

What I was really going through,

Would you have stopped?

I guess we'll never know.

Sincerely,

The girl who almost

        ended her own life.
