a little bit of free verse

The prompt -the first time you realized not everyone likes you back-

Type: Free Verse

Titled: I Wonder

I wonder where I went wrong,

where the lines of my friends and bullies blurred,

when I realized they weren't laughing with me but at me,

when I tried to be the person they liked even if it hurt,

when no one noticed if I wasn't there,

I wonder if they noticed how much I cared for them,

even if they didn't feel it back,

I wonder if I was only a game to them,

something they could use without afterthought,

I wonder if they understood the pain it caused,

if they understood why I was the way I was,

but most of all I wonder if they cared when I went numb,

when I felt so tired I wondered if I was worth it,

when my thoughts were drowning me,

or when I was so close I felt like I could see the line between here and there,

I wonder if they ever knew they were the reason I stayed,

even when their harsh words were enough to send me back to the line,

waiting for a new reason to stay
