Bite It Despite the Pain
Controlling your tongue most difficult
so often it comes like a deadly sting
oh to bite it no matter what the pain
feeling within alone like piece of string
The emotions are so inconsistent
tricking the mind thinking not straight
overtake any good thoughts you have
filling your inner self with deadly hate
This hate is a real bite twister
grips one right in back of throat
the tongue freezes rock hard
needs to feel real warm coat
Such a need to bite this weapon
to stop saying anything that’ll offend
learn well to control this member
so to make many a true friend
