Its purpose

It varies

Protection is its best attribute

To minimize the harmfulness of my thoughts and words

And wouldn't ya know it

My filter seems to be broken

By the time that I realize it

That thought...

Those words...

The painful truth...

Has been released

And this I know for sure

Just because it's the truth

Doesn't mean that it is ok to speak it out loud

Some things must be filtered
