“I Am” - Laura

​I am the person you bullied at school,
​I am the person who didn’t know how to be cool,
​I am the person you alienated,
​I am the person you ridiculed and hated.
​
​I am the person who sat on her own,
​I am the person who walked home alone,
​I am the person you scared every day,
​I am the person who had nothing to say.
​
​I am the person with hurt in her eyes,
​I am the person you never saw cry,
​I am the person living alone with her fears,
​I am the person destroyed by her peers.
​
​I am the person who drowned in your scorn,
​I am the person who wished she hadn’t been born,
​I am the person you destroyed for ‘fun’,
​I am the person, but not the only one.
​
​I am the person whose name you don’t know,
​I am the person who just can’t let go,
​I am the person who has feelings too,
​And I was a person, just like you.
Read the "I Am" poem and answer the questions.
