Biting My Tongue
My humour can often be misunderstood
Though it's solely my attempt at lightening the mood
And putting a smile on everyone's face
No deeper, more sinister reason do I have
My most serious problem is
That I show affection for most people that I meet
Which can often be mistaken
For something other that just friendship
I must apologize for this
It is not meant to be anything more than innocent fun
As difficult as it is to refrain from this practice
I must try my best to be more aware
Of how my words can sometimes be misinterpreted
Biting my tongue is not something that comes easily
Or as second nature to me
But at times I need to refrain and understand
That people's feelings can and will be hurt
I apologize!
