It is not beneath you
to change your spoken tone
Just listen to the way you speak to others
either in person or over the phone

Not sure what brought you so much anger
or hardened your seemingly lonely heart
You are too blunt with words
and they tend to tear people apart

High on your horse
you ride like you are the king
Thinking you know all the answers
when you really don’t know a thing

It seems like a path to destruction
one that will bring you down in the end
This will be a time
when you will not have a single friend

There is no need to harm others
just because you don’t like what they do
Their life is not yours
and neither is their point of view

So stop lashing out
get off that horse that you ride
Change the language spoken by your tongue
and you will find friends by your side

Try to release your anger
but in a most positive way
Then you will no longer hurt others
with any of the words you say
