How dare you talk!

Watch where you walk!

Have you no shame?

Now be tame!

 

Yes, how dare I.

Dare to look in your eye.

Dare to see your lie.

Dare not to be shy.

 

Are you doing this for fame?

What a brat!

Disrespectful at that!

Now be tame!

 

Gold is not my goal.

Refrain from calling me a troll.

My words only come from my heart and soul,

Not from within a shallow hole.

 

You animals are all the same!

You never stay on your string!

Now be tame!

I will speak to your king!

 

FYI, I’m no puppet.

Nor am I a pet.

And a “king”, I’ve never met.

A clue you won’t get.

 

How d-dare you talk!

Wha-What a b-brat!

Now b-be ta-tame!

Wh-Why ca-can’t I, h-he, she, o-or they…

 

...Control me?

Because I’m nothing you can I.D.,

Because I’m not your nobody,

Because I won’t live in your reality.

 

 

I wish you weren’t so naive.

Well, I’ll take my leave.

Next time we meet, have more up your sleeve.

So I can show you what more I can achieve.
