    SELF-SENSORING

    Be proud of me, I softly said:
    I held my thoughts, though I saw red.
    I bit my lip until it bled
    Instead of biting off your head.

  • Hello, enjoyed your poem!! I have been in this position myself!

  • Good poem! don't mean to be mean, but the word you want, I believe is Censoring. Unless you mean 'using sensors' like feelings... but I think you mean censor, ...editing for content.

  • it's a play on the word(s) censor and sensory since biting one's lip until it bleeds is very sensory and the feelings are sensory, but one is censuring their words.

  • ahhh ... well then, write on and forgive me for being so literal minded

  • just passing through......nice piece......simplicity can be powerful

    luv, peace, blessings
