Act Upon And I Shall Retaliate

By MidniteBlaze

Your authority to me means nothing
when you cannot even show respect
you have been a pain in tmy ass for quite a few years now
and as days go by you continue to prove it

Mom will not do a thing
so I shall have to act on my own
I will wait on you though
in no way will I strike first

You give me an attitude all the time
but you will not do it to my friends
you insist on your way
but things did not turn out this time

A sincere answer was given to you
you could not accept it
you wanted it your way right then and there
if I refuse to bow down you think my friends will?

You have the right to the house
but do not bring your obsurd behavior
to people that I care dearly for
and unlike you, people that are there for me

I stick up for my friends
and you get pissed off
you decide to threaten me...

"If you don't stop I'm gonna put you in the dark..."

"Go ahead and do it..."

Please, do it
whatever you mean by it
you give me a dirty look of discontent
and you leave the scene

Why did you hesitate to come for me like you wanted to
was is because you did not expect me to answer back
and possibly consider the reason I did it
no, you just would not want my friends to see the asshole you truly are

You quote to me means one of two things
you want to punch my lights out or try and lock me up somewhere
so as I said, go for it, I will not fight back
but I shall use it against you to my benefit

I will not stand for it
and someone will support me
whichever choice you decide to make

I hope you hit me though
pound away father
so the evidence will finally show to mom
that you are an bad-tempered abusive man

Maybe blood, tears and a few bruises
will show mom the truth about her husband
then defend him and make excuses
I would be dying to hear them

Quit talking shit
and do something about it
I will be prepared for you
and I am not afraid

For whatever you bring my way
I will be prepared
never thought I would address this yet again
but year after year you continue to suck

Not in just the way of you being a bad person
but you suck the life out of my direct family
with your tantrums and immaturity
maybe you should be "put in the dark"



In your case, it would be what you deserve
