they say "stop"
i say "what"

Profanity is such a strange thing.
They scream its name, but I can't dream of not waking up and muttering,
"oh ****"

"stop it" they scream
"stop what" i scream back, my words hitting their cheeks.

Profanity is such a strange thing.
I mutter to the air, sun, moon
"oh ****"

i guess their scared of the truth behind some words
that mutter themselves over and over.

Profanity is such a strange thing.
