Don't Talk Down To Me

Don't talk down to me

You don't know everything, you see

You think you're better than everyone

You're really not, when the day is done

So I can't spell, my grammar needs work

Step down from your soap box, you jerk

If you were smart, you'd certainly know

To not correct everyone, wherever you go

It's a good way, to get friends mad at you

They're friends, it's something you shouldn't do

I know, you feel you are doing something right

Leading them, into a more knowledgeable light

Maybe their light, shines elsewhere

A place unknown, and it's there

They may shine, at something else they do

It may be something, that you never knew

So hold yourself back

Please don't attack

There are things you can not see

So, please, don't talk down to me

For the people who feel others are stupid

because of their grammar or spelling or

something else. Maybe there is another

reason for why they spelled it that way.

Whatever the case, trying to correct them

only makes them feel more animosity towards

you. Let it go! Be a better person, and ignore.
