Without a Filter

Words don't come easy
They really never have
They usually just come out messy
Leaving me with should haves

Should have walked away
Before opening my mouth
Not that I don't have words to say
It's just my mind speaks outload

Sometimes way too abruptly
Never with meaning to offend
Be careful of what is asked quickly
Because it will surely be my end

Please don't ask my opinion
Unless you are willing to accept
You will probably have to disown me
Because the response will be inept

Spoken truly with shaking
It seems I was born without
This simply thing is lacking
To stop the words out of my mouth
