I will reject them first
So they cannot reject me
I will hurt them first
So they cannot hurt me
I will make them cry first
So they cannot make me cry
I will turn away from them first
So they cannot turn away from me
I will ignore them first
So they cannot ignore me
I will step on them first
So they cannot step on me
I will tease them first
So they cannot tease me
I will laugh at them first
So they cannot laugh at me
I will be the evil one
So they cannot be evil to me

&quot;We&#039;re all a little weird, and life&#039;s a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it LOVE.&quot;<br /> -Dr. Seuss
