The Ending

Do not proceed with your attention seeking ways:
the exaggeration of your life sets tempers ablaze.
For when the tolerants’ composure is shattered beyond repair,
they’ll tear apart your act of tall tales and despair

The truth in their spitting words will cut through your lies,
the honesty of their anger will bring tears to your eyes.
For your hollowed out complaints and your self indulgent stories
will never compare to the silent ones’ furies.
