"DEAR MEAN GIRL: Your Kind No Longer Intimidate Me"

Written 2017-09-12

Oh, yes

I mind my own business

I do hang out with the boys

It's all my personal choice

but I'm no prissy princess

Oh, no

Why are you judging me so low?

Do you even know me so?

These are my bros

Your assumption is like 'whoa'

Maybe,

you need to choose your words carefully

Read those articles more critically

about what all women should be

when it comes to finding love, you see?

It doesn't always work that way

Sister, you get the wrong idea

There have been others thinking they knew me

and what a gullible little girl I could be

I'm not interested,

so I'm not taking your bait

We're supposed to root for each other

instead of acting superior

I hope my cold and deadly smile

will chase away your smugness for miles

Dear Mean Girl:

Your kind no longer intimidate me

I'm as happy as can be

Remember, one size doesn't fit all

but there's always that pride before the fall
