Dear ten-year-old me,<\/p>\n
Let’s get down to business shall we?<\/p>\n
Firstly, take off the fake leather jacket,<\/p>\n
It doesn’t look good, you look like a pretentious maggot,<\/p>\n
We both know you’re only one of those,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stop crying out “I know! Miss I know the answer”<\/p>\n
It was a rhetorical question, you chancer,<\/p>\n
And when you get something wrong,<\/p>\n
Don’t cry, please don’t , you look like such a fool,<\/p>\n
Don’t even get me started on the swimming pool,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nobody likes it when you act so condescending,<\/p>\n
Your massive ego is never-ending,<\/p>\n
You just expect everything to go your way,<\/p>\n
It won’t, so please just stop,<\/p>\n
And grow the hell up<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And I know this is cruel,<\/p>\n
But I’m glad I’m not you,<\/p>\n
