My tongue is a double-edged sword. Every time I open my mouth I hurt others.
But I hurt myself even more.
Because the words that leave my lips are words spoken by a monster. Words that fly out furiously whenever I feel like a hurt animal that's backed into a corner.
They're always followed with a tsunami of "I'm sorry"s and me using whatever charm I have left to make you forgive me.
So I can do it again.
It's a vicious cycle, one that has, over time, became my prison.
