silver tongues tied to my neck
i happily stroke those thoughts
letting them grow stronger
letting them take me over
the rock's safety creeps up from behind
lifting me up to keep me clean
the tongue's spit wont reach
but i let the muscles tell me it's alright
what will the tongue do now
i will dream of it's warmth
but the comfort of the safe rock
is familiar and natural like my birth
if only the rock and tongue were one
i could have all i need and want
but they are separate, never transcending
living without security or kindness
which is what the soul needs to thrive?
Author notes
if you imagine the tongue and rock as suiters, one promising gratefulness, compassion, and kindness. the other promising security, wealth, and the best friendship. which do you choice?
have you ever been faced with this choices?

I'd go with the latter as a best friend should ideally possess the qualities of the other anyway. Thought provoking write, well done.

My mind chooses the rock...
for the solid firm reality, but my heart favors the tongue...tell me what i want to hear. Life is fickle. While you may want truth, sometimes it can be too real...devastating even. Other times ignorance is bliss, shallow words of little to no truth, but they can make you happy. If I could, I would want both. If i couldn't, I would take neither...

I adored this to it's core. Fantastic. So much feeling and energy was exerted into this piece of work, you can deffinately tell, I could tell as I read down each word. Fantastic, it left me breathless.

I would hope that I can be the guy that can give both these things, or at least to be felt as though I do. It's a very true piece for life, and a decision that s sought on by many for years to come. Great work.
