Words In Haste

Words in Haste
Written: by Tom Wright
1/16/2013

Sometimes in life, I’ve received some flack,
For expressing thoughts that I didn’t weigh;
Words once orated that I couldn’t retract,
I could stand by them or my tenants betray.

I’ve never been known to be overly diplomatic
I’ll relate so that you’re sure to understand
Never done in a way to cause collateral static
Perhaps a suggestion, but seldom a demand

My desire has always been doing what’s right,
Not stepping upon the feelings of others.
But at times I’ve forced my words to flight,
Though choosing not to, if given my druthers;

But each has ownership of thoughts on things,
And while some bite their tongue and just fret.
 Others launch to air their opinions and dings
Only later to experience remorse or regret;
