My body goes numb
it's on the tip of my tongue
My anger and my doubt
should I dare to lash out
Or do I say not a thing
and give in to the sting
My head full of voices,
now's the time to make choices
To stay or to walk away
to get caught up in the verbal parley
Or just give up the fight
does it really matter who's right
The next time I'll be steady
calm, prepared and ready
