Biting My Tongue Again

My tongue has no more blood; no tissue to slide through my teeth. I have bitten my tongue so long my message deflates beneath. © 2011 ~JSLambert Esquire

LOL Sometimes we're forced to bite our tongues so we don't hurt people's feelings, but as you say, our messages are never conveyed. Well expressed in a concise manner! Love, Carolyn
