Your Tongue

By Badria Hajjar

Don’t mistake your tongue for being something weak

There is a reason it is hidden in between your two your cheeks

Your tongue can be used as a weapon of charm

And at the same time; it can be used as a weapon to harm

It can scar like a knife and pierce like a thorn

It can sometimes make a person wish they weren’t even born

A word said is a word that can’t ever be taken back

A word said unwisely can turn a friend’s heart pitch black

So use your weapon wisely and don’t let it go astray

Let it be a ray of light on someone’s sad and gloomy day

Don’t mistake your tongue for being something weak

Guide it, control it and think before you let it speak
