To This Day By Shane Koyczan

“To This Day” by Shane Koyczan is a spoken word poem. This poem has a lot of symbolism showing how bullying can affect you throughout your whole life. There is symbolism shown when there is a picture of a tank going down the hallway representing that the “School halls were a battleground” (Koyczan 3). This shows how they were all alone and they had to fight everyday even though they found themselves “outnumbered day after wretched day” (Koyczan 3). This shows how hard it was for them to just go to school, because each and everyday they had to walk through those halls or as they called it, a “battleground”. The text also states that the spit balls followed them out of the classroom and into the school halls. In
