Altercations Readdressed (A Deja Vue-er)



"I've been here" you suddenly think

For attitudes come back with a blink

The same misconceptions of others' states

The same interpretations laced with hate  



The same tugs and turns upon your mind ...

The same feelings aired somewhat in a blind

And then you know you weren't wrong before

Even though sad to see them go out the door



For back then, you'd saved yourself a headache

And now ... you find yourself poised to break ...

For what was a concern then to your mind's eye

Now comes across as a quick slice of easy pie
