Read my mind

“Words are like bullets” they say
My tongue is a snail
My saliva leads me astray
My eyes help the cause
My mind is not as bright as day
But it has the true intent
Words lock true thoughts away
Yet, it’s all I pay for a bail
The mind is in pages. Stay!

Do not choke
on words from
Yesterday.

I meant well
You can’t tell
show me hell

But do not
close your eyes,
words are mind.
