Invisible To Her Bully
My words dissolved into ugly sobs.
Mariah leaned toward me, grabbing my hands. “Jessa, no. Hey, look at me. Breathe, okay? Slow breaths.”
But I couldn’t. The pain clawed at me from the inside, too raw, too sharp.
“I’m so tired of this,” I sobbed, words tumbling out in a rush. “I’m so tired of being the butt of the joke. Of always being the one people laugh at. No matter what I do, it’s never enough. I try so hard, Mariah. I try to be pretty, to fit in, to not take up so much space, but—” My voice cracked, breaking completely. “But I can’t. I’ll never be like them. I’ll never be good enough for anyone.”
