Parting shot

Parting shot.

 

You wake up every morning your motivation greed

Mind is full of all the things you want

Nothing that you need.

 

Dreams turned into nightmares 

Inhibitions lift

You open up the box 

Unveil Pandora’s gift

 

Revenge becomes your mantra.

Your sacred holy vow.

A dish best served ice cold

Let’s see who’s laughing now?

 

Unpredictable.

Somehow undetected

Not to be ignored

Somehow unexpected.

 

Approaching from left field.

Two halves to the game.

No time to launch a counter

Nor adjust your aim.

 

A parting shot to teach you.

The grit from which I’m formed.

The strength I have within me.

Don’t say you’ve not been warned.

 

On the other hand,

Perhaps I’ll walk away

Be the bigger man.

Fight another day.

 

Lost in your uncertainty 

Thinking that you’re winning.

Always looking forward 

To a new beginning.





The earth is gonna shake.

You\'re gonna feel the pain

Exactly who i am

Remembering my name 

 

You think that I’m defeated?

Back against the wall.

Think  I’m gonna fail

Wanna see me crawl.

 

Gonna put a show on.

Show you what I’ve got.

Let this be the lesson

Here’s my parting shot.
