Remembering

I remember you
You were the one who laughed when
I tripped and fell down

I remember you
You were the one who told me
We couldn’t be friends

I remember you
You were the one who picked on
My weight, clothes, and smarts

I remember you
You were the one who called me
Names while others laughed

I remember you
You were the one who stood by
Glad it was not you

I remember you
You were the other one who
Was bullied with me

I remember you
You were our teacher who said
And did naught to help

I wonder do you
Remember me? Do you care
That I carry scars?

Do you care that I
Distrust a little more due
To the part you played?

Do you care that I
Struggle to face my demons
And sometimes I fail?

Do you care that I
Struggle to face my demons
And sometimes succeed?

Do you care at all?
Or did you move on with life
Gladly free of me?
