So I just posted a new poem called Ghost about a girl who is ignored and feels invisible, and eventually takes her own life. This subject matter may seem a bit heavy when compared to most, if not all, of the poetry I have posted here, and it is. This poem is important to me because it’s about something that I feel quite passionately about, and that would be bullying. And yes, ignoring someone and treating them as though they do not exist IS a form of bullying, despite what some may think. While I have never directly been bullied in this way, I have had some experience with bullying. Luckily I had a good group of friends around me and a an incredibly supporting family, and I never even came close to considering taking my life as the girl in the poem did. However, there are those who don’t/didn’t have such a wonderful network of friends and family to lean on. With that said, I would like to ask everyone to do their best to share this poem with anyone who will listen, especially those who are being/have been bullied, and let them know that they are NOT alone.
