Zoned out!

 Day-8 NaPoWriMo-2023

Sharp tongues are sweet!

Did I really mean that?

Searching for words

In the haystack

And acting as if nothing happened

You pulled down the roof woman!

Sounds of soft melodies

Soften the heart

But the tongue always

Sways towards the bitter.

We see what we want to see

We hear what we want to hear.

It is a double-edged sword.

How can we judge precisely! 

What emotions swirl

On a tongue

Which is too sweet

But utters bitter truths!

Life is a tough game

You either speak out

Or, die a constipated death!
