Too Much of a Good Thing

Some things are hard to define.
When good turns to bad –
It’s a fine line.
Sarcasm steps over wit;
As the imposter of a joke,
Makes an indirect hit.
Teasing which was once fun;
Can morph into taunting,
When enjoyed by just one.
Assertion is an individual right,
But, if it goes too far;
A two-way fight.
Honesty, seen as a positive thing;
Sometimes is used as an excuse
To inject a critical sting.
