I'Ll Never Forget You!!

What's the difference between you and me? Not a lot really, just looks and personality. It wasn't your fault I was shy and reserving, But it wasn't my fault you were loud and outgoing! What was your fault was the way that you hurt me, How you bullied and picked - made me feel unworthy. Remember the time you squashed the door against my locker? Knowing I was between them, you kept pushing it harder! No one believed me when I went to them in tears, "It's all in your mind", said the Head of years. I stopped telling then, what you all did, I did well with the hurts and tears I hid. Eating lunch in the toilets, staying out of your way, I somehow made it through each day. That was until one day in year nine, The evening I came home anything but fine. Tried to slit my wrists, but I didn't want to die, Just wanted to be noticed and scream, "I wasn't telling lies!" I didn't go to school anymore after that, I stayed safely at home with Mum and my cat. Years have passed now since I saw you last, But the nightmares and torment won't stay in the past. I hope you are happy wherever you are now, I'm slowly moving on but I still think somehow, The reason I'm strong now is your fault too. You probably won't remember me.... But I'll never forget YOU!!!
