I Forgive You


Dear Bully,

Do you remember when you punched me it the face

Or in front of the girl I liked, called me a disgrace

Do you remember when I would run away and hide

Or when you were near that I cowered down inside

Well I do

But I forgive you

Do you remember when you threw my shoes up in a tree

Or when you said something funny and everyone laughed at me

Do you remember when in the principal’s office you lied

Or when you left me in a chair tied

Well I do

But I forgive you

Do you remember when harsh words at me you lashed

Or my A+ project you trashed

Do you remember when you hit me with a bat

Or when you shot spit wads where I sat

Well I do

But I forgive you

Do you remember when you were the new kid in class

Or when your tests I helped you pass

Do you remember when I said I’d be your friend

Or when you replied, till the very end

Well I do

And I hope you do too
