"I Am A Nerd"; a poetry program

This is my award winning Poetry Interpretation piece inspired solely by YouTube. Without this, this piece would not exist. I also submit this as my humble entry into the discussion of open letters to YouTube.
We are all the same. Fighting the same fight. do not fight your fellow soldiers, fight the man. As Haymitch Abernathy would say, just remember who the enemy is.

Poetry Interpretation is when a speaker takes multiple pieces of poetry, song, and/or free verse spoken word and weaves the pieces together to form a program that focuses around one central idea. The black binder is used as representation that the person is not using his or her own words but is instead using another authors words and interpreting the literature around one point.

You hold your black book funny...

[Nerdfighteratalie]

@CezAnneLove On the Community College circuit, I held my book at the top. Now that I am on the National Circuit, I hold mine from the bottom. But, thanks. Comments that don't point out anything but the stupidest details are my favsies.

I'm on the Forensics Team at my local community college, and my DoF showed this in class today. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears! Unfortunately, I was the only one to scream out, "who-ha, NERDFIGHTERS". Ah well, we'll get there eventually :)

[Nerdfighteratalie]

@krazykelsey0403 Inbox me the CC name? I wanna see if I know your DoF;)

[Dmleyvas]

Oh my goodness I love this! I am in high school and participating in speech/ debate. I would love to be able to perform this. Is there anyway I can? Do you have a copy of this anywhere?

[Nerdfighteratalie]

@Dmleyvas I'm sorry, but I've decided to retire this script since so many people asked for copies. Can't give it everyone, and I don't think it's fair to choose one person over anyone else. BUT, I can offer to help you write your own Nerd piece if you'd like:) Nerdfighteratalie at gmail dot com :)

THIS IS ALMOST AS AWESOME AS THE SCENE WHERE DOBBY IS FREED BECAUSE OF HARRY TRICKING LUCIUS WITH HIS SOCK.

[Nerdfighteratalie]

@MadVloGGer101 BEST. COMPLIMENT. EVER.

[bergdebate]

[Melikeapplepie]

I'm such a nerd I watch forensics pieces in my free time:)

[LiquoriceNut]

My goodness you are amazing. I didnt really care for poetry but you just gave it a whole other meaning. I am proud to be a nerd, and you gave me my anthem.

[AloeWildii]

Hah, I found this while searching for inspiration for my next Poetry piece, and I started geeking out when I realized you were quoting This Isn't Hogwarts. Nice work and DFTBA!
