Self inflicted wounds

Usually are caused

By a sharp tongue.

 

More friendships are lost

With an uncontrolled tongue

That utters mostly lies.

 

Truth to some is self endowed,

Thinking they possess the facts.

Verified by others with like opinions.

I have always told my son that he should think before he speaks because words can be forgiven but they are never forgotten

I must admit that I can lose my cool at times and say things I am sorry for later. Your poem is great. Oh, I've been known to tell a little white lie now and then as well. Your poem is my medicine for me to ponder. Thank you!

Love ya!
