I Remember You
Do you remember me?
I'm the girl
From eighth grade
That you threw a bottle
Of glitter at
And then videotaped it
For Facebook.
Do you remember me?
I'm the girl
From fifth grade
That you threw wood chips at
To see if you could
Make me bleed.
Do you remember me?
I'm the girl
From third grade
That you pushed
Off the balance beam
To see how much
I would cry.
Do you remember me?
I'm the girl
From first grade
That you punched
In the stomach
By way of greeting.
Do you remember me?
I'm the girl
From kindergarten
That you never spoke to
Just because I'm
A little different.
Do you remember me?
I'm the girl
From preschool
That you threw
A plastic cup at
Because I preferred
To play away from you.
Do you remember me?
I don't think you do.
I think I was just one
Of a hundred others
You treated that way.
But I remember you.

Everything I wrote here happened to me, except getting punched in the stomach in first grade. That happened to my sister. I figured it was a good example, though, so I put it in.
Never bully anyone. They don't deserve it, no matter what you think of them. And even if you forget you ever touched them, or even that you ever knew them, they will remember. And it will change them.
