armed and dangerous

it's true that i don't know everything
but, god, do i know people.
when my mind works at the same pace
as my mouth, they weaponize themselves.
with my sharp mind and my silver tongue,
i can talk my way out of almost anything.
like an artist, i use tones and words
to shape mental pictures,
creating the effect of innocence.
within myself i hold a dangerous weapon
and it seems to have a mind of its own
so, beware, for it may not appear this way
but i am always armed.
