The Pet Peeve Converstaion
I waited with anxious thoughts
Contemplating what to say about it
The pet peev conversation was suitable
In light of recent events I saw this a blessing
A chance to show everyone in the room that I feel
I never wanted things to be so dramatic
But it calls for drastic actions to be taken
Something to prove I'm not sadistic
And some words to penetrate their minds
I approached the odium with no thoughts
I spoke upon reaction to my sights
I stared at her face as I spoke
"Dishonesty," Lying for almost two years
"Betrayal," turning some of my best friends against me
And "loyalty," staying true with your words and heart
I sat down with eyes upon me
The people were stunned with what they had heard
The tension surmounted until I spoke
"Surprised huh? I CAN feel."
