You had no idea
That you spoke ten thousand words
When you only needed to say ten
You didn’t know
Each phrase that passed through your lips
Secretly lambasted me
You were clueless
When it came to my open-mindedness
And how to understand my point of view
I’ve tried to compromise with you
But at the same time
I’m not going to alter my opinion to make you happy
The idea never crossed your mind
That you were giving me
An excoriation of the worst kind

You were regularly vehemently voicing your views
While I was watching weakly at you
An incredulous look always seemed to fall on my face
As I listened to the outlandish soliloquy you were giving
I could not bear to hear the lies
That flew out of your mouth
And landed into my mind
Your words were on fire
And set ablaze to my already burnt ears
From your previous explosions
About everything I agreed with
You were obviously not satisfied
That I was able to think for myself
I could tell that you would much rather want
A brainwashed vassal
That cohered with every false maxim you said
But I was resistant
I refused to be your horse to water
I would not allow you to hold my imaginary reigns
I would not allow any authority over me
But that idea never crossed your mind
You were persistent on giving me
An excoriation of the worst kind

You were very intractable
When it came to listening
You were constantly using circumlocution
That comprised of caustic comments
Aimed directly at me
It was amazing
At how you could use such harsh wording
Towards an ingenuous child
And everyone around me were adherents
To your egregious execrations
I failed at making my voice heard
Since your discursive speech was so vociferous
But in all honesty
It made me stronger
Despite my self-pity and alienation
From my own family
But that idea never crossed your mind
You were determined to give me
An excoriation of the worst kind

You were a malicious misanthropist towards me
That showed no mercy
When it came to a disagreement among us
You were intransigent
When I tried my best
To reach the middle ground with you
And although it annoyed me at first
I finally decided to throw in the towel
Long before you even acknowledged that action
Because I knew the perfect conversation with you
Would be hypothetical
And I finally accepted
The unfortunate truth
I trained myself to tune out your
Lamentable tantrums
Your calamitous cries
And your devastating fulminations
This is not the ideal approach to life with you
But I will not allow
You to give me
An excoriation of the worst kind
