Unreasonable

 

It’s tough to deal with people who are difficult
They try your patience, they try your nerves
And though you may try to put yourself in their shoes
Your intuition should let know they’re being absurd

Unreasonable people are just blind to plain logic
They fail to see the irony, let alone their hypocrisy
And if you try to use reason and rationality with them
They are sure to erupt and be enraged by the audacity

They will use sarcasm and wit to deflect or avert
Trying to belittle you with their superior knowledge
But you’ll feel there is something odd about this façade
As if hiding some hurt ego or concealing internal damage

There is no rationalizing with unreasonable people
Instead think about what’s happened to them in their past
Perhaps they lacked love or experience some trauma
It’s something that makes them lash out when being asked

And if they didn’t have good parents or a proper upbringing
Maybe they never found a way to heal and just like to fight
I imagine them as a child, crying, angry, dirty, hurt, now an adult
Hoping that one day they’ll learn and maybe finally see the light
