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.

kj force, no this is someone I'm with right now. Well, he is my one and only forever and ever because I told him that if we ever split, I would be forever alone! Too much crap to deal with and I'm not a crap dealer!
I read this to him and he knew exactly what I was talking about! This is the majority of our arguments. He says the wrong thing and I pout! I don't argue, I just shut down and shut everyone out!
Thanks for the comment!
Whoa. I assume your are speaking of that former person in your life ? Although even in a now relationship, we can sometimes feel this way...ahhh.. relationships, now there's a subject we need to cover, I call it " learning to talk with your mouth shut"..just my thoughts...keep'em coming girl...
