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
