Better Than You

I'm nobody.
I'm nothing.
Crazy and insane.
Loud and violent.
Hidden and silent.
Call me what you will.
Call me what you want.
Your words don't hurt.
Your violence doesn't bother me.
Because I'm nobody.
I'm nothing worthy.
Yet, I'm better than you.
I'll stab you with my words.
Punch you with my glare.
No contact needed.
You don't know what I'm thinking.
Because I'm nobody you want to know.
I'm nothing to you.
Stupid and a lout.
Unintelligent and just another face.
Making me feel low with your curses.
Making me feel worse than you.
I just shake it off.
Because I'm better than you.
