Pretentious

Your so pretentious,
The repetition is endless-
And the conversation relentless;
Though my restraint is tremendous.

Trying to keep cool and collected-
But even I, will be affected.

I'm sick and tired of being falsely 
corrected;
I'm uninterested, in the fact that you feel 
offended,
Unprecedented-
Consider this the new me; reinvented.

Is your title a type-o or is that a word? Love the first line in the last stanza. People like to wag their tongues and tell you what they think. When if they'd only take the time. They'd maybe see you wink. Peace. :)
