Oh, Just Once
Many times in my life people say things,
and I, well, just swallow my pride and smile;
although their words and rudeness really stings,
just once I wish- my reply would be fast;
oh yeah, I would like to give them a blast.
But, people think I am angel with wings,
and anger is just not this sweet girl's style.
Oh, I wish I could tell those queens and kings,
that even an angel knows ripe words vile;
but revenge using words comes with big strings,
nasty people fill this world- it is vast;
so best to leave those bad sorts in my past.
Father said, "let them talk while your heart sings!"
Oh, but just once!- NO, they are not worthwhile.
