There is a voice that doesn’t use words,

And a heart that hears all things unsaid.

*

Be careful who you lend your ear to,

Not all smiles come from a friend.

*

When you need to release what you’re thinking,

be conscious of who is around.

In the moment the words leave your being,

is the time loyalty comes unwound.

*

I hate to sound bold and unforgiving,

but experience has taught me some things.

People aren’t always who they selling,

you’d be better off cutting some strings.

*

Just be warned that not all words have structure,

a few have been known to have feet.

They run all around,

spinning yarn by the pound,

and your the one called indiscreet.

*

Keep your secrets tied up and protected,

there are wolves in sheep’s clothes all around.

Sniffing out looking for weakness to bare,

ready to bloody the ground.

*

Oh sure their smiles are alluring,

and the praises they’ve laid on you are thick.

But listen, let me tell you a secret:

They’re preparing a meal,

and your it!!
