You know when you argue with someone
and you see the brickwall?
Behind their eyes it builds, and your words
crumpling against it.

And you bang your voice at the cement cracks
between thier stubborness and it comes back raw.

When you smash your fists against the jagged rock
begging for them to just SEE!
Pleading for them to understand...
And your knuckles come away broken and ******.

And you've lost before anything really begun.
