simple words that come out like a scream.
thoughts that fill the air like steam.
complements turn into complaints.
lovely words fall out as hate.

i never meant those words of late.
my puzzled mind calls out to wait!
but my lips continue to convulse and thwart.
causing my kindest thoughts to distort.

they burst out as the worst of lies
decaying what you know is right.
i promise you, the truth reaches my eyes
but every word becomes a blight.

why cant i just say what's right?
i wish my words would loose their bite.
