Things I'd Wished I'd Said


When people are rude and make me feel small

or treat me like I don't exist at all.


I think of things I wish I'd said, like why don't

you go and soak your head.


Maybe I should have stuck out my tongue,

crossed my eyes or give them the thumb.


I could have hopped a hissy and turned myself

blue, but that would be the childish thing to do.


Through it all I keep the urges inside, my

truest feelings and thoughts I tend to hide


So I cast down my eyes and look the other way,

pretend it didn't happen and for them I'll pray.


But one of these days I won't think, I wish I'd said.

Because I'm gonna get pissed and loose my head.
