IF I HAD A PENNY


IF I HAD A PENNY

 

If I had a penny for every time, I wanted to slap you

I would be wealthier than gold, land, and oil

Why must you be so annoying?

Can’t you see it is not flattering?

Your words are so condescending

Arrogant and immature

Your actions are selfish

Self-centered and egotistic

You spend your time complaining

Down-talking, never uplifting

And your pessimistic ways make me wonder

Why do you live?

Is your self-hatred strong enough to tear hearts?

Do you even realize how awful you are?

If I had a penny for every time, I wanted to slap you

I’d have enough to bury you

Deep in a mountain of coins

To make you realize how irritating you are

Do you even hear me now?

Or do you think this is for someone else?

If I had a penny for every time, I wanted to slap you

I could travel the world

Far enough to get away from you
