(Yes, this is a true story. This happened right outside my place of employment)



I went outside today to smoke my cigarette
And instead I had a moment that I will never forget
A crazy man assaulted me and threatened my safety
He got right in my face and said he would punch me

I hadn't done a thing to deserve such a threat
I just wanted to go smoke one cigarette
But something about me must have rubbed that man wrong
And he and I most certainly did not get along

He said that I was lucky we were in a public place
Or else he would make sure I had a ****** up face
He said he would do some damage, and he would make me bleed
But luckily it was all talk, and he didn't do the deed

I acted like I wasn't scared and I growled like a beast
I stood my ground and all my anger I released
I laughed at him and told him to go ahead and swing
To bring it on and punch me, cuz I didn't fear a thing

But I'm frightened for my life now because of this man
Why he wants to harm me, I surely don't understand
And no one seems to be willing to do a ******* thing
I try to tell my story, but nobody's listening

I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm so ******* scared
I'm such a decent person, all I have ever done is care
So it is hard to understand what it was that I did
His attitude was ridiculous. He acted like a kid

So now I have to live in fear that he is watching me
Waiting for a chance, for his opportunity
I'm terrified that I'm going to soon end up dead
That I'll be walking to my car, and get a bullet in my head
This happened about two weeks ago. Nothing has been done yet, and I'm still terrified
