i've got a fear, it's words i fear
words can be worse than they appear
a word's a bullet piercing me, text vitriol potentially
i am so scared i'm unprepared
to face the language i have heard
i take offence, context is weaning
in spite of the actual meaning
i've got a fear, it's words i fear
words that i read, words that i hear
i'm scared to lose, i'm scared to win
words are a shall and what's within?
must not offend, must not insult, disfiguring the end result
i make words iconography - the word 'sex' is pornography
abcdefg - wherein lies the pornography
i've got a fear of words!
abcdefg - wherein lies the pornography
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
