When Next I See You (or a Note to The Bully)

I will look you in the eyes, so I can see how sad they are

I will listen to your loud, empty opinion with a smile,

And wonder if you knew how insubstantial your words are?

I will watch you make all the expensive mistakes

I will not be riled up from your mindless, shallow talk

I have nothing to learn from you

When next I see you,

I will not hate you too,

I will not love you

I will see you ten years later, still pathetic, still a simpleton

Because you never listen to anyone’s opinion

You have fallen in love with the sound of your own voice

All you are ever going to be is ornery
