Listen to poem:
(aka CAN NEVER BE UNSAID)
i’ve lived my life so far
with one simple guiding adage
it’s served me well i think
though i’ll never truly know
these days it seems somehow
to weigh heaviest on my heart
and seems to hinder more than serve
leaving me to rethink face value
you see i've always lived by words of caution
‘what’s said can never be unsaid
words spoken can never be unheard’
so most times i hesitate think twice and thrice
and won’t say what’s on my mind
for fear words misspoken can never be undone
now it seems i’d want to bare my heart and soul
yet those same words of caution still echo in my head
