To My Nemesis

You were mean to me in public, And you thought you had gotten by with it. Because I did not scream or rant. On social media I did not throw a fit. In other ways, I got you back For calling me mean words, for insinuating I’m a hack. But you have not figured it out yet. I gloat in secret, running to my safety net. You may figure it out today, or maybe not at all But I have the satisfaction of standing right and tall Because you were the meanie who made the bad moves And I am the hippie child with the cool vibe grooves. I have my admirers, my followers and such How much time do I waste on you? Not very much.

Oh, wow, I'm glad you told him/her off, Caren. I have no idea who is treating you this way, and I hope I never find out! I have just gone through it here on Poetry Soup, but I have said my piece (as you have) and I felt better for it. You will, too.

It is fiction; people are almost too nice to me actually.

Thank you my friend; she is fiction - this was for a contest so I had to REALLY rely on my imagination.
