SPEAK SLOWER

Speak slower, think more. Find words they’ll enjoy.
Don’t talk, listen. You will learn.

Find friends who like you. They might stick around for while.

Take your time, don’t rush.
You might find what you’re trying to say deep inside your thoughts.

If you just go upstairs with a flashlight.
Don’t be scared of what you might find.
All that shakes your bones and chills your soul.
The ghost of old St. Mary’s Hill is waiting to take you home.

Overthink, don’t talk. Wait your turn. You’re wrong.
Fight the urge in your blood. The red light is on.

Say what has been on your mind.
Not too fast, for you might scare them off.
Go inside your head, you’ll find yourself
in the corner shaking in your socks.
