mean girls

"Wow, good friend..." Her voice drips with sarcasm, hot molten lava burning and staining into my soul. She was my best friend in high school. Bitter and demeaning, her words killed me, bringing my epiphany; bullying exists. Bullying exists not only between conflicting social cliques, but between best friends. Still, I hold back tears, her words echo in my head. I always felt that I had wronged her. The shame she lead me to feel attacked me through each day. Each night, I suffered my physical encounters with bullying. I relived each assault.
