To my middle school bully, Angel Arreola

"Go away!" would've better
Suited me than my choice of words.
Strike one
-on my part-

Taunting me, without a glance.
Days, weeks, months after.
Strike two
-all on you-

After never eating lunch
Because you bullied me
Into silence

I became anorexic
Switched with bulimic
Nearly committed suicide

One person
Makes a difference
In my case

I know use my voice
I'm no longer silenced
But I will never let

You
Get in the way
Of my dreams or reality

Happy to live
Life without you
Tainted Tulip

Consequences

Fat, ugly, beaten, destroyed. These are the feelings they cannot hide. Tears, sobs, whimpers and pain. These are the things on their brain. A wrist, a knife, a cut then blood.

Words Hurt

Blue and green. Bruises and scars. Red and raw. Let it flow. Pain and stars. This world is fading. Silent and still. Their words hurt. Tears and hate. They made me do this. Dizzy and sick.

You know, people do get better as they get older, or at the very least more civil. Middle school is probably the worst time of all; so glad you didn't succumb to despair then, it's all uphill from here on out.
