Description
of nothing.& mine turn in on themselves
like mad,
hungry dogs salivating
over a scrap of dirty meat.
I’ve never wanted my tongue
to shut the fuck up quicker.

Aye. . . Every time I open myself up, someone around me is hurt. Because of this, I have decided to always give out compliments to anyone I happen to come across.
Even then, something slips, and months of trying to keep them as a friend, dissipates into making them hate me for the rest of our lives.
It's hard to have "real friends" with such a volatile and vile tongue. And yet, I ask others to open themselves up to me, when I myself, can't.

I can relate to this. Once something has been said, it can't be undone.

Powerful. Short and crisp, like the crunch of leaves underfoot.
I like it.

oh god... I know that feel. Boy, do I EVER know that feel.... x_x
It seems like every time I speak my mind a shitstorm breaks out and someone gets hurt or offended or pissed off or what have you. And then I just feel like an asshole and want to shut up for the rest of my life.
Bravo for the great poem.

Man. I can definitely relate to this.. There's so many phrases in your head, ones you want to stay silent or just rip straight from your mind and throw them away. And then the inevitable happens--you speak them out loud.
And those days, you just want to wither away and die, because of how everyone reacts to those words being said...including you.
So yeah.
I think this is the most relative piece (to my life) of yours I've read so far.

This. I totally relate. And to the poem. You took the words right out of my mouth.

:') I feel special now. I guess it just proves how well this relates to me.
In addition, the use of cuss words were spot on.
I want to heap more and more praise on you; seriously, you're such a big inspiration to me. ;_;

I don't curse very often in my poetry, but I have been lately I suppose. But I do love curse words in poetry, when they are used appropriately.
And there is no need for any of that. I'm just glad I can be of some inspiration.

You certainly know how to utilize them correctly, that's for sure!
I'm completely honest, though...I hope one day to be as halfway inspirational to others as you are to me. *derps*

What of the one's in your head?
Surely to where you thoughts have lead
dictation of what your tongue was fed?
These words are of an indelible mark
Though, time to time, they can be dark.

What do you mean?
Your words fall flat.
I can't believe you're
actually praising that.
The mark is as dull
as the knife that digs in.
Our dear poet here
needs to thicken her skin.

I don't write my words
As a mirror of pride,
but I don't like insults
much to what you've replied.
I prefer words of comfort
and rhymes for a bit of fun.
I don't like to be shallow
And put spite in each one.
But in truth, I digress
Those words were very flat.
I didn't give much thought
As to how I came with that.

It takes a keen eye
to watch for such things.
Words, for good or ill,
soar on the same wings.
