Sharp Tongue

A Slam Poem

By Serrena GraggPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I'm not always the nicest

I've said things

I can't unsay.

The tongue inside my mouth

Is sharper than a knife.

And I even cut myself with my words

Most days.

I try to be kind.

I swear I try to be kind.

But my emotions get the best of me and sometimes I

Lose my nice mind.

I vomit up words

I try to conceal

I don't mean to hurt

I don't mean to kill.

I'm sorry if I've broken you

With the things I've said

I swear I try to be kind.

And stay calm

But I'm human.

I'm not always positive

I don't always see the good.

And when I fill up with anger

I say things I try to avoid.

I'm sorry I'm not the nicest.

I am trying to be kind.

I swear I am trying.

But when I am hurt

I feel with rage

And I have trouble controlling

My sharp tongue.

I say things

I can't unsay.

And

I'm sorry.
