The Slumber Party

I was a bully
I am not afraid to admit it
 
I just had no empathy
I couldn't relate to others feelings
 
one night changed that
the slumber party
 
there were quite a few girls there
and a bunch of guys
 
I was the mean one in my group of friends
I was fifteen  
 
all the girls left there bags in the front room
I took jenny's bag and went through it looking for trouble
 
I found her granny panties
I went outside, and put mud in the ass part
 
I put the undies back
I waited for the perfect time to pull them out
 
when everyone was in the front room  
I proceeded towards Jenny's bag
 
I picked it up as if I was admiring it
then I claimed I smelled something nasty
 
I opened her bag and pulled the undies out
oh did I mention the guy she liked was there also
 
so I flung the undies into the middle of the room
everyone was grossed out
 
I should have been a special f/x guy
everyone thought the mud was a mega hershey squirt
 
Jenny just looked at me
her eyes locked on mine
 
tears were welling up
in that moment I felt her embarrassment  
 
I felt her humiliation
I felt her pain
 
I felt her soul
Jenny ran home  
 
she didn't come back
I told everyone what I did to clear her name
 
some laughed others thought different
but that day changed me  
 
I could feel!
I felt bad for someone!
 
I was never able to do that before  
empathize  
 
I found it in the eyes of a humiliated girl
after that night I was doing things different
 
I was relating to people in ways I never deemed possible
I was actually understanding my actions were hurting others
 
I really never saw Jenny after the slumber party
I wanted to
 
I wanted to thank you Jenny
for looking me in my eye and showing me your tears  
 
I hate to admit this but I was probably a sociopath
I was at the make it or break it age
 
if that night never happened
who knows the person I would be today
 
Thank you Jenny!
