Watch Your Words

Watch your words

They scald

Remember if you are about to say something nasty

Best to say nothing at all.

Shut your mouth

Be quiet for once

Your words are weapons as well you know.

Years later, people will remember how evil you were

Don’t blame drink

Or anything else

This is your mind it must be how you think

Why can’t you take a moment before you shower 
those evil words on the floor

Knives fly from your mouth

You distress yourself much less anybody else

You have never grown up

You are a sad soul

Always looking for someone else to blame

You are as fickle as can be

One minute sweet

The next as sickly as can be

You can be acidic

Your words cut deep

You rarely think

Mayhem follows you

The way its always been
