School 1-12

I’ve started school
There isn't much to say
I make friends
I go to classes

I feel funny
Something came undone
The year I was away
I don’t like people

Thanksgiving
The first time in a year I see HER again
But according to mom
HER is now HIM

HE’s the same as ever
But something is different
Was HE always this rude?

A couple months later
We meet for Christmas
HE’s there too
I’m not imagining it

Back to school
I start to realize
HE’s always been this way
How long has this gone on?

I consult my parents between classes
HE’s been like that since they knew HIM
Only I didn’t notice
HE abused me as well

Its painful to see HIM
At holidays
I try to be civil
HE continues to be a jerk

School is going well
I met a boy
He gave me a bear
I think we might go out

Its Holiday again
HE shows up
With the friend HE’s been toting around since High school
She talks to me on HIS behalf
It’s pretty weird

Me and the boy
We are enjoying our holiday
HE tries to create a rift 
Between me and the boy

HE’s definitely always had a way
Of reminding me that I can't be special
And everything I do is less than
But lately HE is pathetic
And I believe in myself
And I can’t figure out how to feel
