The story only I can tell
Is new,
Unique and unheard of.
At least from my point of view.
Because the world has heard it.
Various versions of it.
But not mine.
Mine’s different from others.
It’s one of dark feelings,
Being bullied, ignored, verbally abused,
And suicidal thoughts.
All wrapped up
Into one twisted and true story.
If you don’t believe me
That’s your choice.
But I won’t lie
About things that I have gone through.
So go ahead,
Call me a liar,
Stupid,
Or an idiot,
For thinking certain thoughts.
But you’ll never understand.
Because you weren’t there.
You’re not me.
And this,
Is my story

The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this piece when my creative writing teacher was talking about how we all have a story and only we can tell it to the world. So I wrote it as a glimpse into what I went through when I was bullied.
