Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

My wisdom, silenced

My mind and mouth,
You want it silenced
With a gun and a pinch of anger
As the emotional bullet flies out
And catches me in the heart.
This wisdom,
These words will die forever if
They remain halted in my mouth;
This wisdom will die with me
If you don't let me share it with others.

I know I spout off a lot,
And that I'm often tempted
To swear and shout,
But the words that I say to you people,
They fall from my mouth,
To the ground where they remain
As everyone walks upon them
With dirty shoes and bare feet.

I've been one to spew my truths
Into the wind as to was splayed
About the open lands,
So perhaps this wisdom will grow.
Perhaps this state of mind will grow.
