Lip Service

No censorship from your lips Declarations made unapologetically Living to offend You triumph at being different Unique now is a dirty word The way you mean it As an excuse to be belligerent To speak your mind freely Regardless of the consequences You hurt others with your tongue Your words are acidic Eroding away any peace from within me
