they say
hindsight is 20/20
i say
our actions
have consequences
i know that
my words
have meaning
& they too
have consequences
just because
i say “sorry”
doesn’t mean
i truly am
if my actions
do not change
then my words
were truly
empty
when i was younger
i didn’t understand
any of this
i thought
i could
say what i pleased
do as I desired
speak my mind
without consideration
how simple
is life
when we’re
so naive
decades later
i’ve learned
think before
speaking
my words still cut
decades later
i still
sometimes
gotta remind myself
words always
have meaning
watch
your
tongue
