Seventeen. Twenty-three. Tombstones
waiting for my name.

The last stanza is particularly powerful, Nicole. I just read a book, which had someone jumped off a cliff because of bullying. Bullying in all guises is really what destroys a person on the inside.
Good to see your body of work on Asperger’s syndrome is growing.

Amazing poem. I’ve been there too, Nicole. The worst was in elementary school, grades 6-8. In high school, I made friends. Fortunately, my high school was not a bullying environment.

Unlike Lynda, I could never write a poem like that and share it with my elementary school tormentors. Frankly, I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of knowing that they had such an impact on my life. My priority now is to heal myself, not enlighten them.

I was missing the goddess series, glad to see them coming back. And an interesting take on the prompt you suggested; might have to co-opt this multiple-voice idea as well.
