STUBBORN...ANGER..

poem by: Frank Hornby .
Written on Jun 19, 2020

"I WON'T GIVE IN!....I'LL STAND MY GROUND!
I'LL STICK OUT MY CHIN!...GIVE POUND FOR POUND!
I WON'T BACK DOWN!...BECAUSE I KNOW I'M RIGHT!
IF YOU DON'T SEE IT MY WAY!....BE READY TO FIGHT!
"DO AS I SAY!!....NOT AS I DO!!"...
"DEFY ME ONCE!!....I'LL TAKE MY BELT OFF TO YOU!!..
"I'M NOT YOUR REAL DAD!!"...."YOU MEAN NOTHING YOU SEE!!"
"I WON'T GIVE YOU LOVE!!...."BECAUSE IT WASN'T GIVEN TO ME!!!"...
