3 DURAS: the poem!

 

I am

I am the person you bullied at school,

I am the person who didn’t how to be cool,

I am the person you alienated,

I am the person you ridiculed and hated.

 

I am the person who sat on her own,

I am the person who walked home alone,

I am the person you scared every day,

I am the person who had nothing to say.

 

I am the person with hurt in her eyes,

I am the person you never saw cry,

I am the person living alone with her fears,

I am the person destroyed by her peers.

 

I am the person who drowned in your scorn,

I am the person who wished she hadn’t been born,

I am the person you destroyed for fun,

I am the person, but not the only one.

 

I am the person whose name you don’t know,

I am the person who just can’t let go,

I am the person who has feelings too,

And I am a person, just like you.                                        a poem by Laura, Bullying UK
