My Best Friend.

Bullies, you can nor see them in naked daylight neither in the darkness under the sheets, behind your mobile screen.

I've come across many bullies in the past six years.

My first bully was the people whom I went to school with. 

They made me weak. They wanted to make me believe that I am responsible for every bad thing happening to me.

They told me I am fat, that all this skin shows the world how ugly a human can be.

I remember when I was 13, there was this girl who didn't want to be friends with me because I was chubby.

I was 14 and I was introduced to my second bully. 

Society. 

Girls are not supposed to play sports. 

Girls are not supposed to wear skirts.

Learn how to cook. Learn how to clean.

Be a girl, what are you going to do when you get a family of your own?

The people I thought were my friends were my third bully, because they used me and left when they got bored.

After that day I became my worst bully.

I was my worst bully

Because when they pushed me down on the road, I lay there numb without breathing, I couldn't care to get up.

I was my worst bully 

Because when the mockery got into me, I sat on the floor silently from dusk till dawn until my mother knocked on the door telling me to come down for it's time to go back to school. 

I was my worst bully.

But then came a day when someone slapped me and told me to stop playing the victim because, in the end, it's useless. 

It was me. I needed a best friend that day, so I became my best friend

I started writing. I wrote about colors, and how they dance when I close my eyes just a little bit. I wrote about "the society" and how they are nothing but butterfly-shaped diseases. I wrote about the people who hurt me. And finally, I wrote about bullying.

And there are still bullies out there, some walk past me daily and some are long gone but I learned not to care about them anymore.

I am my best friend.

Because yesterday I went to that road again to pick myself up 

I am my best friend.

Because I carried myself home, disinfected the wound, and taped myself with bandages.

I am my best friend.

Because the truth is that no matter how much you try, you can't break me now.

And it makes me so happy to finally say this, 

That, I am my best friend.
