go it alone

keep it to yourself,
the old man
told me.
don't be so open
about your troubles.
relationships
and work.
people will define you
by what comes
out of your mouth.
be quiet, silent
if you have to.
no need to share so much.
they will only
confuse you with opinion
and their own
tales of woe.
there is wisdom
in silence.
go it alone.
