Three Long Years
You ruined my life for three long years
You may not know it
I left you behind
Before the pain began to show
All you had to do
Was not talk to me
But you talked to me
You became my best friend
But it only lasted a week
Without a goodbye
You began to bully me
Just like the others did
But you weren't alone
You weren't the only one
Who befriended me
And abandonned me
Two years I was tortured
I was nine
Nine years old
Was when my torture began
And I was eleven
When I left
Off to Maryland
A new start
And I hated it
As much as I was bullied
I wished that I was back home
But I was glad
That the bullying would stop
The damage was done
You forgot me
I never forgot you
You ruined my life
Because of you
I had to protect myself
I had to build shields
I had to change my identity
I had to put on a mask
I pretended to be a different person
I lied for three long years
I met my best friend
On the first day that I lied
When I finally began to be myself
My best friend didn't recognise me
Three long years...
You took three years of my life away
I became a monster
I hated myself and my life
You did this to me
You will never see this
You will never understand my pain
You will never know what you did
You bullied me
You ruined my life
You took away three years of my life
Three long years
That I will never get back
Because you talked to me
You started a chain of events
That brought me to my knees
Because the bullying never stopped
Even though I wore a mask
Even though I had shields and walls
It hurt so much
But let me tell you a secret
Because of you
Because you ruined my life
Because it is your fault
That I lost three long years of my life
Because of you
My life has become so much better
You ruined my life
And like iron in a fire
I was reborn as steel
I am stronger because of you
You destroyed my life
But sometimes nature has to burn
If it wants to flourish
Thank you
For talking to me
Thank you
For ruining my life
Thank you
For allowing me to become the person
That I was destined to become
You bullied me
You wanted to hurt me
And you succeeded
You will continue to bully others
I just know you will
But I will warn you now
Even though you will never hear my warning
Be careful when you destroy someone
Because they will become stronger
And they won't destroy you
They won't even try
You will destroy yourself
Because by hurting someone else
You hurt yourself
They will heal
You will not
