May I Suggest?

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
