Gag Orders

I know what you want

For me to just shut up

Well, I guess I won’t

I have tried to

Just for you

Keep my mouth tightly closed

But I’m over that

I won’t accept anymore

Your gag orders

I have my own mind

Better than yours.

Truthfully, I’m sick of this

What used to be simply

A nuisance, a mild inconvenience

Has become, to me, at least

Unbearably, ridiculously unnecessary

I know what you want

You want me to not have

A mind of my own

But I do. I hate to tell you

I just can’t obey these

Gag orders anymore

I have a mind, all my own

Better than yours

And truthfully, the tape is off

There’s just no going back

I’ll refrain for now

Telling you all the things

I held back for so long

But if you push

Anymore tonight

These lips of mine

Will no longer remain

Tightly pressed around my tongue

I have my own mind

And I’m sick of this

Your gag orders no longer

Have any hold over me
