So much is happening inside of her head

she can't help them,

she can't stop them,

swirling in a fury, evil and angry, hateful, and mean

They are always there, wanting to leap from her tongue

Vowels her swords, and consonants her shields,

Ready to battle, fighting to no end

Cut off her tongue and the war will be won, but if you kill her tongue, you kill her

For it’s her only defense, against this cruel world.
