you peevish, small man
to belittle me?
you fool!
my mind went blank
how I shook for a clever retort
a withering put-down
a riposte straight to your heart
but nothing.
humiliated, I despaired
but then!
I saw their eyes
and I angled to let them witness me
pity my resigned and downcast stare
you will lose!
the innocent is exalted
the guilty condemned
this slight will pass from your mind
but not from mine
the others will hate you
I will sow the seeds of your contempt
nurture the sproutlings of your censure
I will raise a smothering jungle!
enjoy the self-satisfaction of your affront
illusory highs will stalk your fated alienation!
I am dedicated
I will win
