You can not keep everything bottled up inside,
Expecting others to understand all you hide.
Please speak up when a need you have got,
Shame not those by putting on the spot.

Pride and silence, no wonder so many can’t deal,
Maturity is so much more than paying your bill.
No place for shame in God’s purpose of your life,
So stop hiding and creating drama and strife.

Self inflicted most problems are made and arise,
Expecting others to understand your silent cries.
Don’t count on others to jump in like a boss,
Take it to God in prayer and leave it at the cross.

Hugs ...VLK
