Calling You Out

May 2000, age 17

Calling You Out
Stop the shouting and the names.
Step aside, this ain't your fight.
It's time to battle one on one.
I'm calling you out tonight.

Tonight's the night I say enough.
And you get to lay the law.
I'll lose, but I'll be respected.
So I'll take the draw.

The time is now to step out.
No one needs to follow.
Just you versus me, alone.
This ain't no ticket show.

The anger's burned way too long.
The first still grows hot.
It's time to settle it for once.
You, I'm sorry, have been caught.

I know you won't punch me.
So let the cruel words fly.
It's hard to make the challenge.
But I'll sure as heck try.
