I Was So Offended My Head Fell Off

I was so offended my head fell off 
my independent body wandered lost 
it was a pain beyond all battlefields 
a bomb in my face while I held no shields 
oh so revolting the language insulting 
though I’m an adult I found myself sulking 
of course I could grow up but I’m immature 
if I’m sad I am noticed if not I’m ignored 
I’ve no personality my character bores 
but if I’m a victim my character roars 
this is my victory a victim in need 
give me your sympathy I am a weed 
words hurt yes words are the worst 
we disagree so I’m living a curse 
look at my head now detached from its perch 
speaking your mind with the Hell that it serves 
we’re not alike in our thoughts disagree 
I wake up in tears thinking Lord why me?

Sharp-edged and topical, most arresting! Don't you mean "wandered" in line 2?
