Was It Worth it

Words hurt, but not as much as I do when you hurt me

Was it worth it?

You talked your s**t,

Barked out words meant to cut

Then walked off and slammed the door shut.

Big dog now, walking tall,

Expecting me to lay down or fall.

You must not know me or who I am,

Because now I’m coming and I don’t give a damn.

The door didn’t even slow me down,

You’ll choke on those words or maybe drown.

Before you know it I’m in your face,

Your bark is big but my bite shakes the place.

Unleashed, undone, unruly, and unafraid.

You have no clue what you have done,

Maybe your talk to you was fun,

But now you’ll have to answer for that fit,

So tell me man, was it worth it?

Sorry for the expletive, but it needed to be put in. I'm really a nice guy but don't mistake my kindness for weakness

I really like this.. Mr tough guy... But ya know people ought to learn to put their money where their mouth is ... Well done

[That_Guy]

I go from Teddy bear to Grizzly bear pretty quick haha. I absolutely agree. Thanks again ;)

I don't THINK I commented on this one before...I could go on about personal associations but meh, I'll just stick with my compliments for this piece...I especially like the option of choking or drowning on one's own words...good comeback line, a versatile one too, as it can fired off in all sorts of confrontational contexts...as it pertains to me, I'm no martial artist but I have reduced idiots to tears with my bone-dry humour haha I also know how to wield a goalie stick but that's a whole other story...

[That_Guy]

I don't believe you have before. I am a sucker for a good compliment haha. I agree, a wicked tongue can be someone undoing. I'm English, I enjoy some tear inducing dry humour haha. Nowe that's a story I'd like to hear haha. Thanks Mate for the review

[kublakhan27]

No problem :) Thankfully I've been able to elude such drama for the most part in my post-school years...of course that doesn't stop me from writing about it haha I'm not proud of it by any means, but I can hold a grudge as good and as long as anyone, and I got a few :P

[That_Guy]

haha that's good. You know I'm not a small guy nor do I look like someone people would want to fight but trouble finds me...

[kublakhan27]

Haha well it never hurts to have the physical chops to counter trouble when it does show up :P

Indeed, indeed^^

Pieces like these are well worth it. Sometimes they're our best, and we don't even have to try... I can't even express how much I love to read free forms like this, they don't even have to rhyme! They have a beauty all their own that no amount of structure can "fix" or "make better". Hope you feel better after this, glad to hear no s**t is being tolerated. Haha

[That_Guy]

I agree. Thank you for the review Clairdelune ;) I felt better, eventually heh

[smurfett]

I see UFC here.....the one that keeps coming to mind is Diego the Nightmare....sorry...the dream now...great piece. Very explosive

[That_Guy]

I do compete in MMA but I'm a little bigger than Diego ;) but nice thank you

[smurfett]

No...thank you!

Unleashed, undone, unruly, and unafraid.
You have no clue what you have done,

For some reason that is very very powerful

[That_Guy]

I thought so as well, Thank you Cole

[what-the-frick]

This really drew me in. Love the imagery and flow.

[That_Guy]

I'm glad. Thank you very much

[Angie Diane♥&hea..]

I loved this piece. I love the anger...but everyone is crazy when they are angry so it is okay to be angry sometimes. I really enjoyed reading this poem. It was nicely written and I loved the theme. :3
I loved this. Thanks for sharing.

[That_Guy]

this was very raw and very real for me. Thank you so much :)

[Angie Diane♥♥]

You're welcome brother!!

[JiDonnelly]

haha,epic!
Iloveit.

The anger in this and the urban style it is written in is just perfect!!
you come across a very humble down to earth guy with a limit.
I really like your style.
This piece is the most intimidating piece I have read so far on here.
Proud, very proud.

[That_Guy]

haha thank you.

I appreciate that. a very fair assessment I"d say ;)

I'm honored thanks

[KAOlmsted]

...that's the sixty-four-thousand dollar question: Was It Worth It??? I have often found the answer to be a resounding NO! But, man, do we keep throwing words and actions around like they have no consequence! I imagine that to be the ultimate deathbed revelation...with our last breath, we will discover, infinitely too late, that we should have just kept our big damn mouths closed. Well done, pet.

[That_Guy]

Hopefully we figure it out before it's too late

[KAOlmsted]

...chance would be a fine thing. ;-)

[That_Guy]

absolutely ;)
