Everyone told her’

By: Kaytlin Williamson

Everyone told her’

NO.

YOU CANT DO IT.

YOU’RE NOT ENOUGH.

YOU WILL NEVER BE LOVED.

And she believed them.

She made what she called “life”

in the shadows of all her

haters, her

bullies, her

“Friends”

She sat alone everyday.

Waiting for a “friends”

to remember

where they left her,

telling her to wait.

They used her.

They “asked” her

to bring her meds

so they could concentrate

also.

She got two,

two felonies.

She took all the blame.

So her “friends” wouldnt

hate her.

They did anyways.

They shunned her.

Telling everyone how

“bad” and

“ignorant” and

“terrible” she was.

She cried daily.

Begging her mom

to let her go,

threatening her life daily.

She took eighty pills.

And went to bed,

falling into a deep sleep.

Only to wake up surrounded

by doctors and nurses,

and therapists.

She moved away.

Leaving behind a school that shunned her,

that denied her existence,

that expelled her for being

a good friend.

She walked into the new school.

Eyes casted down, face neutral.

Only to be bombarded

by wide smiles,

and shining eyes,

curious about her.

She is happy now.
