A Verbal War

Anger swiftly churning

Building up a torrent

And spewing out my mouth like so much running water

I feel justified in what I am saying

I am justified in what I am saying

I want the last word

I will have the last word

I will not apologize

For what I’ve said or done

I believe that I am right

I may apologize

For how you reacted

But that’s not what you want

You want to win

But all you have is a truckload of hurt feelings

And issues I don’t want to care about

Because I have better things to put on my mind

Thoughts like hamburgers sizzling in grease

The grease being my thought process

But my mind returns to you

And the hamburgers burn

And now I’m not only angry for what you’ve done

But now I’m angry because of my wasted time

Wasted on you and your childish impulses

Grow up, figure it out, and call me then.
