My Words Constrict Suppression

My words are not poisonous
I have a spider in my mouth
They are neither venomous
I rest a forked tongue between my teeth

My words are lovers
They sentence hate to death
My words speak spokes
That turn the windmill of truth

My words are jealous
They sound only like me
My words are ravenous
They crave bloodlust for my enemy

My words are envious
Of the lips others’ melody
My words are ambiguous
They wrote what I couldn’t say

My words are ridiculous
They couldn’t escape my voice
My words are gregarious
They forever speak to my internal monologue

My words are polite
They ask to be read 
My words are silent
But they speak to your mind

My words are selective
They censor my thoughts 
My words are constructive
They survey willing hearts and minds
