Be kind, rewind, don’t stir the water
Is what you’re calmly shouting
Be nicer, heed, stifle your speech
You got my monologue wrong
Don’t pretend, or veil, your language
I listen more than talk didn’t you notice
Don’t say, my ego, stands me apart
I’m no individual, I just don’t act, the fool
Better than, never am, I the best
At accepting what others disagree
To forgive, I will, my friends
But you and your posse, are nothing to me, but acquaintances
After Accusation, I concede, nothing
Remember you whispered people never change
One on one, stead of mob, mentality
I appreciate, only your face, addressing me
Rise against, against me, with words
Draw blood from my character
Stronger, with willpower, I can withstand
Words of those, who refuse to know, themselves
Are you-attune- to this friendly interruption?
