Very Hard

Very Hard ~ Photo by Patrice

It doesn’t come easy
it’s
very hard 

Keeping my mouth quiet
taking care
not to say anything
hurtful
demeaning
not 
too hard 

This is my quandary
this is
my mission
no matter my apprehension 

But
still
still it’s very
very hard.

    Oh what timing this is. It is so hard to not say anything and keep my mouth shut.
