Sometimes I would be afraid to go to school.
I was afraid someone would tease me or call me names.
I was in fear of one person in particular.
I still am.
They don't know their 'playful' teasing actually hurts.
Or when they trip me in the hall.
No
one
should
have
to
live
in
fear
of
going
to
school.
Yet I do.
I don't know if it will get better, or even if it will go away.
I don't want to live in fear.
I want to feel confident, not second guessing everything I do.
They destroy every chance at confidence I have.
I can't feel good about myself when they do this.
They have destroyed me,
and what little confidence I ever had.
