Cornered
I put my hands up
Like you taught me
Only now
You're the one attacking
"Helping" because
You "just want me to feel better"
And I braced for impact
The weight of you and the hard floor
And I bit the dropper
And the glass shattered under my teeth
And I spat the shards out onto the floor
And you cursed.
What?
I said I wouldn't take it
Did you think I was kidding?
You created memories
And then got to move on
Leaving them untouched and perfect
Mine are being trampled.
Walked all over by my friends
My peers
I can't DO this
This constant emotional bombardment
And I'm here again and I love it
Away from my friends
Away from my peers
My teachers
Here with doable expectations
The stage lights glinting off my glasses like melted candlelight
And it feels the same
But in the worst way possible
And I hate this
More than I hated last year
At least last year
I cared
What I wouldn't give to care now
