DECLAMATION-Grade 7

The document is a first person account of someone going through a painful rejection and transformation. They did many things to try to get the other person to like them, but nothing worked. This led them to realize how much they had missed by focusing only on the other person. They then decided to expose themselves to new activities, learn to love themselves, and no longer need the other person's approval. This is the new them.

THE NEW ME (Grade 7)

This is the new me you'll never expect. This is the new me you'll never want to see. I did everything
for you. I risked everything for you. I made everything right for you. I tried to look beautiful. I stayed up
late. I spent this much. I stepped. I rain. I fell. I crossed. I climbed. I did everything. And it's all
because of you.

I cried all night. I wasted my years. I prayed for a miracle but nothing happened. Nothing I ever did
ever made you like me. Not my messages, not my phone calls, not my gifts nor my looks. Not my
efforts, not my promises, not my soul or my life.

So this is the new me. This is the new me you have to see. Wait until you realize just how much you
hurt me. Did you know I fought for you? I would've killed for you. I would've died for you.

But you could never love me.

It's sickening to know that one's efforts can never be appreciated. What is it about me you couldn't
like? Am I fat? Am I short? Am I boring? Is it because I'm boyish? Is it because I'm garrulous? Is it
because I'm knowledgeable? Is it because I don't like parties and I'm not a nightlifer?
 
Then what was I supposed to do? This is me! ME! I can't change who I used to be. At least, when I
found out that you could never learn to love me, I realized... I realized... I realized...
 
...just how much I've missed.

I lost my friends. I pushed my family away. I became cruel. I was being selfish.

So look at me now. I didn't change who I was. I simply exposed myself in different activities. I became
active. I learned to love myself. I don't need you.

This is the new me.
