Dear mouth,
please be patient enough to swallow the words that the ears feed you.
I hope the choice you make,
to either stay closed or open,
is only for a better cause;
To heal and to bless.
To make happy and wise.
To make love and peace.
Whenever confidence is less
because what you're about to utter makes no sense,
I hope you find peace in silence.
But when silence is a pestilence,
please let your voice heal the wounds,
for your words will be stronger than the pain.
Never let anyone's opinion stand for yours.
Always stand for yourself,
even if your heart is racing and your feet can't support you.
When a Hitler or a lucifer pays me a surprise visit,
decipher the words to swallow and the ones to spit.
Do not let me conspire with them in silence.
When anger is bitter,
be still to distill the words that the pain instills in me.
Not because you are weak,
not because you can't speak,
but because you're confident and kind,
enough to give the mind the time to think and the ear a chance to listen.
Because ego doesn't suit you,
for emotional intelligence is your favorite shed of lipstick.
