You Tought Me
Look at you.
You have everything you ever wanted.
You can do anything you ever wanted.
You cant get in trouble.
You can only gain favoritism.
You get away with being a bully.
No one would ever believe YOU would bully.
Well I do.
And I do because I felt your bulling.
You are the cause of the way I am today.
You changed me so much,
I cant even get my old self back.
You pretended to be my friend.
Then you ripped my heart in to.
You took my feelings,
and you used them against me.
You scared me,
so I took my feelings and pushed them away.
Now all my feelings are hidden inside me,
so even if I broke a bone,
I wouldn’t feel it.
You made me hide my feelings so deep,
I cant even find them.
I don’t feel many feelings now days.
And you are to blame.
Then you took my brain,
you twisted it so that I cant see myself the right way,
only how you want me to see myself.
Now I see myself in a dangerous way.
All my thoughts and memories are different.
I cant even look into the mirror,
or I will do horrible things to myself.
Then you took my friends from me.
I tried to warn them what you would do,
but you had already started changing them.
You are a horrible person.
You ruined my life.
You changed me right in front of my eyes.
Right under my nose.
Right in front of the world.
My hole future was ready,
now it has crumbled,
and I am so sick,
I probably don’t even have a future any more.
But then a miracle happened.
A light came my way.
and if it wasn’t for this light,
I would be dead.
This light healed me.
It fixed my memories and stitched my heart.
I see clearly now,
but at the same time I don’t.
For in the time I was sick,
I had changed so much,
I don’t recognize myself now.
I will soon though,
because I am healing fast.
And now I am healing other people.
Because I know how they feel,
and I know how to help them.
I know that they need a special light,
and I know how to give it to them.
You taught me to see differently,
you taught me to see hope,
joy, faith, love,
and so much more.
You taught me a life lesson.
so in a way,
thank you.
