Comeback

Bullies need to back off.

"You're fat!" - I know how to cook
"You're different!" - I'm an individual
"You get angry!" - I'm passionate
"You're weak!" - I'm not afraid to cry
"You're a nerd!" - I read something other than magazines
"You're a goody two shoes!" - I won't go to prison
"You dress weirdly!" - I don't look like a slob
"You have scars!" - I stopped cutting
"You're a loner!" - I don't feel the need to let other people define me
"You believe in God!" - I have faith
"You're stubborn!" - I know my mind
"I would hate to be you!"

I bet you would seeing as if you were me you'd have to put up with all this bullshit everyday.

lol that's both VERY astute AND funny! Wonderful punchline or sting in the tail :) I'm often told by fools who know no otherwise than because as a multi skilled creative that I have no friends....well I do... a few... how many do I need? Should I collect them like Pokemon cards? I like to reply " no friends, no colds" welcome to writerscafe :) I will enjoy reading a more substantial block of your writing soon enough....
