Today is day 12 of NaPoWriMo : Today’s prompt is to write a poem of questions you have always wanted to of asked someone ( parent, peer, teacher, anyone maybe historical or even a world leader ) . I was at a loss had though of quizzing a politician or Queen Elizabeth 1 when I read a post on another unfortunate young person who was cyber bullied and no doubt plain ordinary bullied. A young person still at school so as I was bullied not only at school but through my work and personal life too. I am alive and proud , unlike the poor girl in the post.The post moved me to leave an answer and I am going to now in a poem confront my bullies. I have included too videos one by Jesse J called Who’s Laughing Now , and the other an early Imogen Heap Getting Scared Now.
I actually found this much more painful and harder to write than I thought it would be, so sorry it is not very good but I do not have time to rewrite today.

WHY!
Hi, long time no see, what? surely you remember me.
Would you like a drink relax lets talk you can feel free.
Why did you call me all those names,
Why did you exclude me from all your games.
Was I so ugly was I so fat ,
Why was I something at which you just spat.
Why did I let you make me cry
So many days and nights I just wanted to die.
I still carry the scars on my arms and my back
Why dd I let you get to me , for something you lack.
What made you think think you were so much better than me.
Why did I let you tether my spirit which I should of set free.
Why did you hound me where ever I went
Why were so ,on my destruction bent.
I have never kidded myself that I was in any way stunning
But the way you treated me and made me look bad was cunning.
You stuck you protractors and pencils in my legs
When we had cookery you made sure you broke my eggs.
If I ever cried or made a fuss I’d hear your laughter.
If tried to tell the teacher they’d dismiss me , they’d call me a martyr.
Do you know what, I am through with all of you
I have succeeded in my life I do not have to explain myself to you at all.
