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.
