I am addicted to talk
Only to hold back and shut
Addicted to say
Addicted to express
Yet I am still holding backPart of me is holding the speech in
It's silence for once
Finally a talkWhat mind do I have?
One that welcomes silence with open arms
One that shouts for a talk to startYet with both
I'm here paralyzed not sure what to do
Should I accept a talk I will later miss
One that I might later regret"Backstabber"
Or welcome the silence
Sitting in my chairOnly to stare
Hand gestures the most I could add"Backstabber"
Addicts fighting each other
Here for joy and mellow
Yet they can both be the other
