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
