say it

Let the words form on your tongue

Taste each curve and line

Remember the acid honey on your lips

Don't allow yourself to begin reminiscing

Forget what each word means in your mind

The dictionary of your memories long forgotten

Each word hiding a dagger

The blood dripping from your lips

Staining them with each second the words stay inside

But your tongue never submissive

Resists the utter pain of concealing each word

In time you can find that the words are free

Each one deserving to regain their dignity

Finding no worth in keeping an imbecile safe

Let the words escape your tongue

And pour them like acid
