My words are a posion

They infect every person I grace

I wish they were harmless

But they never give a warm embrace


Attention seeker, snake is what they say 

But the posion within me just comes out when my thoughts go astray 

They are many times when i wished i could take it back

Erase the thoughts from their brain

But the thing about poison is it cant be undone once set free 


The poison blocks me from what i want most

Honest relationships and people to know the real me 

Why do i get sad why to i get happy

The posion prevents anyone to know the truth


The word truth itself tortures me inside and out

Such a simple gesture but so few people have it come out of their mouth

My words control me like i am lnslaved to their wims 

They spew out like an overflowing bin


No one really knows me 

No one really cares

Everyone has their posion to control 


No one tells the full truth

No one has no secrets 

Posion overflows everyone with a heart and brain


And it just cant be washed away

this piece is about the pressure felt to keep up, the lies we tell to fit in, and how everyone in some way or another has secrets
