Tell Me What You Really Think

Tell Me What You Really Think
You sat and looked at me as if,
I had lost my mind.
You told me I was crazy,
That I was unrefined.
The kind of life I offered
That you could not accept.
I think there’s just a few lines
That I may have overstepped.

You said I had a screw loose
That I was fruity as a bat.
You called me crazy as a loon
Delirious and erratic.
Deranged, demented, dingy daft.
Bonkers, crazed and cracked
Unbalanced, unglued, unhinged unzipped
Kooky, mad and whacked.

You said I was a lunatic
Psycho and berserk
Out of my freakin mind
A screwy, batty, jerk
You called me a screwball
A flaky no good fink
And I said babe why don't you tell me
What you really think.

Words ARE weapons that cut right through your soul. Good or bad. I absolutely loved your last line!! You slammed it right back to the character doing the name calling. Very well done Ricky.

Words are weapons especially when wielded to hurt. The last line slayed me. It was perfect response!
