The sour taste of misery Mingles in my tongue The thoughts of my history Which were forever unsung And became a mystery Have been regurgitated.
My tongue a while ago Was ***** and span But now I abhor The taste that plans To sit on the buds Making my taste bitter.
I try to spit But it won't go The taste that fits Would forever be sore.
I try to speak But my tongue is numb When I try to refuse That my life is glum.
The winds won't listen To my tongue They just whistle What had just rung.
The bitter taste Is now forever ensconced And I won't wash it off Even if they see The bitterness I have That inhabits me in glee Because that's my past And my past is me.
