Shh it’s a secret
Shh you mustn’t tell
I’ll only share my views with you
If you share yours as well
I don’t want to be silent
I’d rather speak with you
But please be careful with my thoughts
Or I don’t know what I’ll do

Authors Notes
Written at a Montpellier Writers Group session.  I’m an introvert and it’s taken me a long time to share my stuff.  This was a reflection of where I was.  Concerned about having an opinion for fear of being shot down in flames, or ridiculed.  Thankfully, I’m well over that.  I read a quote in a DMM catalogue which made me laugh and gave me a better perspective.  ‘Opinons are like arseholes, everybody has one.’
