you can't
October 2, 2014
today
in the hallway,
you teased me,
shoved me into the lockers
and called me stupid names
and all because
i like girls.
i liked you once.
you, with your pretty smile
and friendly attitude.
friend turned bully.
i ran away.
i ran home.
crying.
you did it the next day too.
and the next.
and the next.
andthenextandthenextandthenext
and
the
next
until one evening
you realized you were wrong
to do that
and went
to my house to apologize,
to make up, to be friends.
again.
my mom let you in and you went
up
to my room,
“sorry” about to fall
out of your lips
but too bad for you
because
you can’t apologize
to a corpse.

This is beautiful. I can feel the emotion behind this and I really hope that you, Anonymous friend, are okay. If you ever want someone to talk to, I'm here. Don't let anybody push you down because you are a warrior, and nothing can stop a warrior. Not even death. Remember that you are more than your past, and you are beautiful.
