I Thought It Was Over.

I thought it was finished,

the name calling and hatred.

I thought the bullies were gone,

never to be seen again.

I was wrong.

The bullies are back, but

their eyes are red and their

claws are meaner. The tigers

of my past are back ...

and they're hungry.

I spent 7 years trying to get

away from them, and now they

are back, ruining what little joy

I have. Life was never meant 

to be fair.

Now I sit on the sidewalk, my

eyes red with tears, and wish

I was dead. Maybe then it will

be finally over.

I thought it was over ...

... but it had only just started.
