I'm Taking It Personal

The things you said were more than words: Those evil barbs you fired my way Were meant to hurt, to crush my pride So stunned, I had no words to say - I took one on the chin and once I pick my fractured self back up From off floor, I'll measure out The fullest measure in a cup - This cup of wrath I've measured out, As you go on about your life I'm musing how, and when, and where I'll pour it out, repay the strife. - You, unaware, have walked on by No doubt you've found another friend To whom in jest you will disclose At my expense, some time you'll spend - Your coward acts, your thoughtless speech Your bully ways, designed to beat The av'rage man into the ground And leave him there in low defeat - But I will rise, and you will pay You only thought you'd had your day I'll have my day, I'll have my say So who's the fool? That part you'll play! - You trampled me with low regard The world will know the naked truth When you think back you'll rue that time; An eye for eye, and tooth for tooth - by David C Rogers
