Jack

You reek of obnoxious arrogance 
Born and bred from ignorance
I loathe you talking smack
To my face or behind my back

Certain phrases, you say
Are portrayed in such a way
Like nails on a chalkboard
With me, they strike a chord

My children repeat
My heart skips a beat
I take the heat
After you speak

With your sarcastic brand
Yet, unlucky hand
Like the smallest dog in the pack
Erect hair on his back

Sure, it sounds harsh
But heavy on my heart
I've lost much control
Of sentiments you stole

No, I don't hate you
But I'll never see past
Low blows I've accrued 
From you showing your bottom
