My Tongue
No Plagiarism!0LfbvTZrgHrq4GolpFiRposted on PＥNAＮＡ

My tongue—

I know how 

to hold it.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1td2VhykdU

I’m the kind 

to speak, 

to question, 

to reveal.

I don’t turn 

from truth.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe4UKSVvk3

I don’t like illusions—

unless they’re dream-born.

But in daylight,

I face what’s real.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRldicikfP

After trial 

and error,

I learned—

not everyone does.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQIjTK1za1

Some live 

in illusions,

where fault 

never falls 

on them.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8meKIppKT

I often know 

who they are—

even at first meeting.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSDilHH1mH

When it stings,

I ask:

“Do you want the truth?”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sbQvBjjm8

And warn:

“Next step, be careful—

because I’ll tell it.”

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0VJyQf7mL

I don’t sugarcoat.

If you want me to know,

I’ll know.

We’ll move on.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnGtA5bubK

If you want help,

we’ll find 

the shape of 

the problem.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeauCfMQG25

If you want to 

learn yourself,

I’ll walk with you.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjEaoQxNoL

But my tongue—

even when it doesn’t burn me—

might sting them.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb8nixIruF

Especially strangers.

Especially if we won’t meet again.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf3iWKc6nV

And I’ll still try—

because sometimes truth deserves the risk.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UTEaZfNtN
