Dear Bullying,

 

The planet must revolve

Around one person

The popular one

not the lonely girl in the corner

Push her out of the way

the spotlight is on me

 

Yes, I am right here

She is dirty and ugly

The planet I control

Sends the clouds for her

when I command

Rain pours on her

washing away all she has

 

But I don’t care

I have a game to win

I have a math test to ace

I have a dream to achieve

A girl in the corner

is not my problem

Why is she crying?

I only tell her the truth

 

I stare into her familiar face

Smiling my face of popularity.

She opens her mouth to speak

but I laugh before her lips move

Her teeth are shining metal

I notice she has four eyes

I scream and run away from her

for she is a monster

 

But when I stop running

She is next to me

Becoming me

But she is me

From my past

And my future

Even right now

I am the girl in the corner

Who is just like all

But judged by the outside

 

When I know this

I become a friend to all

not a foe

not a bully

I must right my wrongs

for pride and popularity

made me forget 

who we all are at the center.

 

I smile in happiness

more than I have ever felt before

the girl in the corner

is my friend

The clouds go away

not by my command

For I am no longer in control

Everyone is

 

Sincerely,

Winona
