Each I we me or it

Quickly into the void slip

Your back voices

Brazenly

Ussurping truly

Deftly feintly

No if my and or but

Saves this stinking cockup.

Upon reflection

So I love this style of word riddle, is it the voices in the back of our head that cause us to spew forth the words of our embarrassment? Or an encounter of the modern 'isms' that make us wish we had said nothing at all? I am a curious man, as the creator, what was your thought behind it?
