Ouch

Ouch

You slapped me once like this before,
but the pain was here, (points to face),
not there.

I've been called many things you know,
none of them true,
those are the best kind; easily forgotten.

But I dared you to give it deep,
after I had given you your lashing,
and stood defiant, and proud, above you.

But how beneath you I am now,
because of the things you say,
too close to the truth.

-Matthew Koutzun
