What’s holding you back?
What is it
you are trying to protect?
Your essence
your soul
your privacy
or
your pride?
I’m not sure.
I don’t know how to respond
because
I don’t always know the answer.
Or you don’t respond
because you already know the answer
and you just don’t like it.
Touche.
Sometimes
that is probably true.
Sometimes
it is a combination.
Sometimes
it is all of the above.
And sometimes
you’re just chicken.
Maybe.
But I don’t think
that’s the norm.
I don’t always
remain silent.
And it’s not always wrong
to hold back and
think carefully
before speaking.
Point conceded.
Discretion is rare.
But there are times
I probably take it too far
and don’t voice
something
that needs to be said.
So what’s stopping you
this time?
