Bite My Tongue

contrition of attrition

 

Bite my Tongue

words sometimes flow from my mouth

that should never ever be spoken

cruel responses uttered viciously

cause I fear my heart has been broken

expectations set way too high

like a child I want more than my share

if I do not get my wish

I respond harshly like I don't care

deep inside my space filled thought

reaching out to cut so deep

how many years until I'm taught

how long before I finally sleep

without torment from my selfish heart

accepting it's not just about my need

until I learn to bite my tongue

my world will slowly crumble from greed

well you know wut they say "Cant teach an old dog new tricks" lol
This is interesting Morpheus, Sometimes we all only think of ourselves in what we want and need, or dont want or need, not always thinking of others in what they want or need, or dont want or dont need. But if we were all more caring and thoughtful and less selfish the world might be a better place. But until then, we all do the best we can and know.
