All I've Known is How You Made Me Feel

Just because I'm in college now and no longer being bullied by my peers, that doesn't mean I've forgotten all the things they did and said. That sticks with you for a long, long time afterward.

In uncomfortable situations

I travel back to old days

and revert back to old ways

It's easy to forget where I am

That there's no threat looming here

I've been out for going on two years

No one's going to shove me from behind

Or trip me in the halls

Or throw pencil shavings at my head

They won't steal my things

Just to get a reaction out of me

Or make up stupid clubs just to exclude me

No one's going to call me those wretched names

That still echo through my mind

Or again tell me that I'm weak

But even though you're nothing

But a reacquiring dream now

You're still a part of my skin I can't shed

Everyone says just get over it

I wish they'd understand it's not that simple

To forget all derogatory things that were said

You don't spend over half you life

Being bullied relentlessly

Only to come out completely unscathed

I will never be who I was 12 years ago

That girl is dead and been replaced

But I'm slowly learning to accept the new me

This is a very sad poem. It evokes a lot of emotion. Nice job :)
