Good Manners

Stop biting thy tongue… all it shall bring is a taste for self destruction as the sanguine beckons it’s spirits and spits down thy lung.

Dear Kate, What a powerful call to action, urging us to speak our truth instead of suppressing our voices. Withholding our thoughts only leads to inner turmoil and self-destructive tendencies. I loved how your words are filled with urgency, compelling us to break free from the chains of silence and embrace authenticity. - Blessings, my friend! - Daniel

Thank you Daniel, this poem feels very personal (well they all are aren't they!) I'm really glad you liked it. Sometimes withholding your truth to appease others is not the way to go!!
