I tried to hold my tongue time and time again .
It is funny how ,it is not even in control of my brain .
All the unfiltered spoken word ,
Got me in trouble and someone hurt .
It also gives birth to a new regret ,
Which will live along with other guilts .
Why I cannot keep quiet for sometime?

When the talks and gossip fills the place ,
And I hear things which I shouldn't just in case .
Filling my mind with all the trash ,
Which make me do things rash .
Speaking wrong things at wrong place and time ,
Without understanding the consequences and crime .
Why I cannot be in silence for sometime?

I never can justify what to say when , 
The words do not work the way I intend .
A word spoken, and something breaks ,
Every word comes with high stakes .
Cannot predict the war ,that can occur ,
Without even trying , because of minute error .
Why I cannot keep my mouth shut for sometime?
