I am responsible for what I say, not what you understand.
Unsure of what I mean?
ASK.

It's a simple solution, really.
Fairly obvious, if you ask me.
Before you shove your false interpretations of what you believe my words to mean in everyone's faces, why don't you take the time to clarify?

Vincible ignorance. You have the means of acquiring the knowledge and truth behind my statements.
The fact that you don't use those resources is your responsibility.
I hold them in the palm of my hand, in the lobes of my brain, in the words behind my lips that are waiting for release.

You do it to make yourself look better?
You do it to start a fight?
You do it because you don't want to admit that I'm right?
Maybe diverting attention away from the fact will tarnish my name, eh? Bruise up my face?
That what you think?

You're **** right I'm an open book.
I will not hesitate to correct you in front of the world for your seeming inability to understand.
I won't be accountable for you wanting to start a fight from your willing ignorance.
While the general concept behind this is valid, that people take words at face value and will run with them even when they know they don't convey what you really mean, the rest of this was just me pulling random things out of my head. I'm not mad at anyone and nothing like this actually happened. I'm angry about something that didn't happen.

Right now you got your pride
There's nothing left to learn
Pretty soon the night will fall
So be careful who you burn

Watch your mouth
Because your speech is slurred enough
That you just might swallow your tongue

Simply shooting the word love from your mouth like gunfire across a battlefield proves nothing. Love is expressed in actions. The word alone is utterly useless and is just another string of letters in the English language. Words have absolutely no meaning until we give one to them through our behavior and animate them by utilizing our human nature and creativity. The feeling of love exists at the core of our very beings - it's natural, and it's what we instinctively long for.

You were an alcoholic,
And I was just another bottle.

Maybe you won't break
The next bottle you drink from.

I doubt it, though.
You will drink and break until you wobble.

You are an alcoholic,
And I let myself forget it.
Each couplet is a 10 word poem.
