The Unwilling Bully


Oh she's a nerd -
Her specs too uncanny,
Her teeth too cranny.
Oh she's a goth -
Her makeup too dark,
Her hair too shark.
Oh she's a jock -

And greet each newbie with a frown;
Inhumanely diffuse societal atelophobia in her very bones,
Like yesterday, when you oh-so-merrily tore me down.
