Taglock

Such as the taglock stays firm,

My thoughts cannot break into words.

What can I say to speak my mind,

That won't be taken as unkind?

Stay silent, quiet, quite polite.

Don't be the one seen as in spite.

Don't loosen strands the taglock holds,

To make yourself appear as bold.

In spreads and tattered now it's seen,

For some things said we shouldn't mean.
