I have plenty of opinions and suggestions to share
But unless specifically asked for, I do not dare
To put forward my opinions and thoughts
Usually it is because confident I am not
That my suggestions would be taken seriously
On the other hand I wonder if I would inadvertently
Annoy someone if my opinion I were to state
Therefore I hold my tongue and wait
For others to share their often strong views
Only then do I speak, to go first I never choose
*
Often I find myself at the receiving end
Of advice that people without my asking for extend
Perhaps because my opinions I do not share
People think I do not understand or that I am unaware
When such situations occur I wonder if I should be
More forthcoming with my opinions about issues that I see
*
I envy those who audaciously believe
That their suggestions would be well-received
Their thoughts with confidence they express
No doubt people who hear them are impressed
Maybe I should just give it a try
Express my opinions without being shy
Maybe the hesitation lies purely in my mind
Let me share my thoughts and see what I find
Passion...unbridled
