Here Comes Trouble
Just In Time
I see it in the expression on your face
You are in a bad mood
Something set you off
As I try to console you
You won't hear nothing of the kind
Getting mad is your favorite habit
You like to complain
As your cursing continues bringing more pain
I watch friends turn away
They also have watched you many times before act this way
Carrying on your own personal temper tantrum
No matter how many times I try to explain
You listen but don't hear
You make your own assumptions
As you sink deeper in the world of despair
Anger shows it's ugly head
I have to keep my distance
Because the more I involved myself with your problems
I get dragged in
You really don't want help
All the times your promised to change you never did
I told you before and I will tell you again
All I want you to do is try
Listen to common sense
The voice of reason
Other people who also agree
Here me out
Not long after
Our voices raise and a shouting match takes place
You try to twist the truth
Blaming it on all kinds of reasons
I hear you out
It's not me against you
I am not the enemy
Softly I remind you I am only trying to help
So I back off
You give up to easily and slip into your bad habits
Can't you see what you are doing to me ?
As you point out other people with their short fuses and their bad ways
Why would you want to do what they do ?
I remind you to be yourself and work hard on making your life better
Don't get pulled in one direction and then another
You believe it is alright to carry on this way
Finding fault and an endless list of troubles to consume you
That eat at you little by little
Clawing away like a squirrel attacking a bird feeder
Doing all he can
To get what he wants at any cost
Giving you time
To let you cool down
I can only help you so far
Then you have to take action
Only you can change if you desire
I wish this time I was wrong
We can only hope you keep up the fight
Then I can find better stories to write
