My Tongue
No Plagiarism!Q2ESuMMFEv10XIDUdxz8posted on PＥNAＮＡ

My tongue—

I know how 

to hold it.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPxbrGSpuk

I’m the kind 

to speak, 

to question, 

to reveal.

I don’t turn 

from truth.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPfIsvizTm

I don’t like illusions—

unless they’re dream-born.

But in daylight,

I face what’s real.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaQJHY7Sqt

After trial 

and error,

I learned—

not everyone does.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnIpJEy1Iz

Some live 

in illusions,

where fault 

never falls 

on them.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbn9AjUSMI

I often know 

who they are—

even at first meeting.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YN9B569oQ

When it stings,

I ask:

“Do you want the truth?”

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vi2fFgH4T

And warn:

“Next step, be careful—

because I’ll tell it.”

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBf64hvXLm

I don’t sugarcoat.

If you want me to know,

I’ll know.

We’ll move on.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwynmnj7Vom

If you want help,

we’ll find 

the shape of 

the problem.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Uci8axkks

If you want to 

learn yourself,

I’ll walk with you.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Uf4GmLeF

But my tongue—

even when it doesn’t burn me—

might sting them.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOl7NowVRC

Especially strangers.

Especially if we won’t meet again.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDCzG2Hx13

And I’ll still try—

because sometimes truth deserves the risk.

221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARJO0MkgfT
