keep it to yourself

best not 

to tell others your troubles.

whatever

tragedy

large or small

that may have occurred to set

you in

this dark mood.

they will not forget it

and ask

you about it from

here on out

when meeting,

or on the phone.

perhaps it's out of love

or just curiosity

that makes them bring

it up again

and again.

but still they keep it

going on.

wanting more,

while you want less.

it's best to seal those lips.

send it up in prayer

and move on.
