Words are my specialty I control the flow Fast or slow Acidic and biting deep Get rid of them fast My brain commands my tongue They’re poison to the body And those around me Try to get rid of them And for a while They seem to be gone They’re only hidden Ready to attack The fastest way to destroy People around me I watch them shrivel At the same time It makes me feel stronger It disgusts me What have I become? Sometimes they come out Not what I meant them to be I hope they’re not truly me Don’t let the words consume me That is not Not who I want to be
