Land of Tacenda

Land of Tacenda   

I bite my tongue

I felt the responses churning in my stomach but

I bite my tongue 

The words rose up to my chest, my heart beating in anger

I held my bark

The words reached my tongue, my mouth turning sour to the taste

I looked up in your eyes ready to berate

But instead my tail was between my legs

I had entered the land of tacenda 

Better left unsaid than argue with a wall 

Better left unsaid than start a war 

So the land of tacenda welcomed me with a warm chant and a soft embrace 

No more yelling no more screaming just once again put back in my place
