If I could go
back…
I wouldn’t have thrown newspapers at people’s windows at 3 in the morning.
I wouldn’t have tp’d people’s houses
especially not when it was going to rain
I wouldn’t have hung tampons on their doors
and stuck pads on their cars.
I wouldn’t have sprayed “niagger”
in silly string on their car
I wouldn’t have ding dong ditched.
I wouldn’t have gossiped and lied.
I wouldn't have rolled my eyes
and talked back
I wouldn’t have laughed at their cruel jokes.
I wouldn’t have said “yes” as a joke.
I wouldn’t have sat idly while all those kids ate alone
because I had more in common with them than I realized.
I wouldn’t have bullied people
and made them feel small.
I hate who I was. I hated myself then and I hated who I was now. I've changed, of course. Grown up. But there's no taking back the things I've done. There's no erasing it and if I could change who I was, I would.
