Bite my Tongue

words sometimes flow from my mouth
that should never ever be spoken
cruel responses uttered viciously
cause I fear my heart has been broken

expectations set way too high
like a child I want more than my share
if I do not get my wish
I respond harshly like I don't care

deep inside my space filled thought
reaching out to cut so deep
how many years until I'm taught
how long before I finally sleep

without torment from my selfish heart
accepting it's not just about my need
until I learn to bite my tongue
my world will slowly crumble  from greed
