Interpersonal Battle

INTERPERSONAL BATTLE

Two people circle each other in a battle of wills and of strength. 
It’s a battle between you and me, I made a point and you disagreed 
just because I was right. Did you have to call me what you did? 
What right did you have?
Well, I called you back and now we are equal. You hit me once, then twice.
I struck back but you beat me, you walked away, your face strangled by your anger.
I have a bloody nose but in my head I won, I beat you, in my head I’m as cool as ice
inside. Are you? No you’re on fire like the sun, burning 
up and falling apart with your anger.
Well I’m so cool while you go crazy – 
yes, I won that one in our argument over your thieving violent lifestyle.
