Stronger

every day’s the same
she fought to find her way
I am not the same, she says.
Why do I not know
the same information as the public schooled kids?
how can they use it against me?
I am not lesbian
I am not stupid
I am not a coward
I am not an idiot
Please don’t punish me
Please don’t hit me
I can’t help that I annoyed you.
I can’t help that my mom found out
what you did to me.
I didn’t tell, I swear.
She didn’t even notice the small scabs you left behind.
It wasn’t my idea to tell YOUR mom.
It wasn’t my idea for your mom to ground you.
You tried to be nice, for three days.
I’m sorry that you feel I am so inferior that you could
tell them about the time I cried.
I am inferior.
I am disloyal.
I left you behind.
I hope you feel better about yourself than you made me feel about myself.
I would never kill you. no matter how much I said I wanted to.
bye
-Sincerly,
J (girl)
