The argument that leaves you clear headed.
Bleating
Incessant bleating
Your lips are moving but all I hear is-
Bleating
Now the noise sounds like screaming,
Ever heard a kid screaming?
A goat, or a baby
Either one is quite draining
Holding back a shout, trying to worm its way out
Tired-
Empty, I have zonked
In this match, I tap out
Your rapid succession of verbal sparring sessions
Parry, parry, thrust, reset
I cannot believe this is just the second set
The pressure is building
My eyes, my chest
Lord please guard my tongue
Prevent what is next
Screaming-
Is that a goat
I've failed, I have lost
I'll make my way out
The pressure is gone , my brain crystal clear
Fed Up
Done-
Gone
