"In life God doesn’t give you the people you want, instead He gives you the people you need. To teach you, to hurt you, to love you, and make you exactly the way you should be."


Why must you tease me?
All those memories I tried to erase out of my mind.
All those secrets I’ve kept
My conscience discovering them every time.

Why must you chase me?
Chase me with your words?
Bother me with your actions that I’ve memorized;
A play I’ve seen too many times before.

You’ve just been haunting, haunting, haunting me.

You’re like a ghost.
A strange ghoul drifting through the lobes of my brain…
It’s like my mind can’t contain,
All those memories I’ve tried to pour down the drain.
Leave me alone; you’re driving me insane!

You just been haunting, haunting, haunting me.

Please go away.
I can’t take this for another day.
Another second, another minute.
I’m stuck in a maze,
And memories of you are chasing me within it.
Why are you haunting me?

Being bullied has really inspired me to write this poem. When I was younger I was bullied by girls in my grade. I was called fat, geek, and many other harsh names. I would always wonder why they would pick on me. Haunting is just nostalgia of when I was younger. I've dug deep inside to write this poem. These words are just me asking the bullies why.
