My Dues

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like without the bullies. (Actually it is usually all the time that I wonder about that.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like without the bullies. (Actually it is usually all the time that I wonder about that. I mean, when I am not running for my life or battling it out in alleyways or kicking it old school on my typewriter or drinking tea because tea time is sacred and no you will not ruin it for me.) I probably would not get any exercise because I would not be running from Them. I probably would not have my wonderfully sarcastic inner monologue because I might actually have friends that do not leave me because of Their stupid rumors so I would talk to them instead of myself. I probably would not have my powers either, and wouldn't that just be a darn shame? Luckily for me, my life is full of bullies. Therefore, I am delightfully sarcastic and wouldn't you know I do have a best friend. Her name is Lola and she is cooler than you are. And, believe it or not - because it really is your call even though I suggest you do believe it 'cuz it is true - I do have powers. Like super powers. Like I am magical. Yup. They came out of nowhere one day and decided to stick around. I guess I will keep 'em. If the jerks don't steal them first...or that guy on the other side of my mental communication line. He could pose a problem. Despite its many perks, even I have to admit this whole Them thing is getting old. As in, I'd quite like it to just stop. And maybe these powers will be that key to do it. Those and some training from a stranger I shouldn't trust. And of course the voice in my head. I think his name is Oliver, but maybe it isn't. And Lola. I can't forget her. She'd kill me and laugh the entire time. Yeah, I can see this year being a strange one. But hey, I'll get what I deserve. I'll get my dues because it is about time I start actually living.
