I won’t forget those two girls
who took my kindness
and used it to their advantage
after walking away
I felt heat rush to my face
cheeks burned
lesson learned
won’t make the same mistake
I should’ve been able to trust
a teacher in eighth grade
but he thought I deserved
to be called a shadow
he destroyed my faith
I still think of the time
I walked inside to see a finger
pointed at me
accusatory
I can’t believe I cried
I’ll never get back
those times I cried
nights wasted in life
Great poem. This sounded similar to me!

Girls can be crueler bullies than boys. This statement is based on thirteen years of teaching junior high.
