Knowing When to Stay Quiet
Aging sucks
Let's get that out of the way fast
But it also teaches you
When to speak and when to shut your trap
A situation arises
Your first instinct is to uncork
Somehow you hold your tongue
At first the silence is uncomfortable
Then it fans out into wonder
How did I learn to be this mature ?

You're young, wild and fiery and drink vodka for breakfast, you've got some time left before you write one of these .....

There is more to this
than meets the eye.
But I guess you just have to be there
to understand it.
You had me at: 'How did I learn to be this mature ?'
Excellent piece of self-art, my Speak!

It's tough to hold back and that silence sometimes feels like resignation, but it's the right silence I believe Thx gorgeous Xx

It was the day when I was so convinced I was right about something, that I found our how wrong I was. ... That was a good and bad thing and a supreme lesson learned Thank you fellow traveler ....
