A Nerd

I told them that I was on YWP
And they called me a nerd.
My cheeks burned
Not with embarrassment
But with anger.
I want to say,
Writing is the most powerful thing in the world.
I want to say,
Being a nerd is a compliment.
I sort of mumbled these things,
and they didn't even look my
Way.

i already wrote that, see?

mangos, conditioner, a new coat.
she bites her lip.
