Though tempted to give sound advice,
to share my view, I must think twice.
Some people ask for the plain truth,
yet choose a mask while holding proof.
Honest viewpoints could shake their core,
alter their hoist as hopes deplore.
Try hard to help prevent a fall.
Stay in my realm until they call.
Grasp self control to bite my tongue,
but still console tears that are sprung.
A silent vow to not provide,
they will learn how to let soul guide.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
