I Shut Down: A Poem

You explain to me how you are right

I shut down

You are wrong, but I don’t want to fight

I shut down

You spit the words in my direction

I shut down

I was clearly sitting in the “no arguing” section

I shut down

You want to know if I am mad

I shut down

My eyes should show you just a tad

I shut down

You act like the victim in this one-sided talk

I shut down

Kiss my ass as I’m starting to walk

I shut down

wearing a frown

sitting on the ground

hearing no sound

you’re not around

now I have found

no need to shut down.
