Be Careful What You Say/Write

You have dominion over

The words you’ve yet to speak

For only you can decide

Whether they are ever uttered.



Of those you’ve already spoken,

You cannot take them back but

You may be able to change what

People think of you in spite of them.  



Of the words you’ve written,

There is a permanent record

Of them that will always follow you

Even if you regret having said them.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: “Of your unspoken words, you are the master; of your spoken words, the servant; of your written words, the slave.”
