You think

you are so much

better than me.

Smarter,

nicer,

anything really.

You say I need

To watch how I act,

but I can act how I please.

It isn’t my fault

I retaliate the way

I do.

You treated me bad,

so why shouldn’t

I return the ‘favor’?

You try so hard

to push me away

from my friends.

The few I still have.

I don’t think you

know how much your

actions hurt.

The glares,

the sly remarks,

just basically being

around me and my friends.

Here’s what

you need to know.

I am a better person

believe it or not.

I act upon what I’ve seen,

not what I have

heard about people.

I don’t complain about grades,

knock people down in orchestra,

or try and be the best.

I be myself,

not some poser

who threatens students.

The girl you choked?

The guy you kicked?

I know everything.
