Dear Boys in my Life

I came to realization a few days ago that you've all hurt me. Every single one of you, since I was little. I've been treated badly by all of you. Pushed around, controlled, verbally abused, yelled at, ignored, told to shut up. You name it, you've all done it. I'm tired of it. So when I say leave me alone, I mean it. Don't send me messages about how sorry you are, I may believe you, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be left alone. Don't expect me to come up and talk to you if you just stand there. I'm not taking the initiative because every time I have, it has been in vain. Don't expect me to talk to you after you've yelled at me. I'm not mad at any of you anymore, but I can't handle you all right now. I have stuff to do, and you're not going to get in the way of that.

Until I meet a boy who will accept me for who I am and take care not to hurt me, I will expect to be left alone.
