Analysis of Grip



I hate him
He angers me
I wish he'd die as quick

My feelings
he's angered
are just as real as wit

I know him
He's someone
Someone else I'd quip

He's horrible
He's always
someone else I'd flip

I'll never
No-never
see him as I rip

No never
I'll never
forgive what I can't grip
