They say that a close mouth don't get fed
That if you don't ask for something you don't eat
People especially say this statement to me
As I'm a very passive person
Each time they would get mad at me for not speaking up
But then in my thoughts I would say..

" A close mouth don't get fed.Well I'm not desiring food.I'm desiring understanding.That's how I want to get fed.I can live without food for a month, But I can not live a week without understanding"

But of course I don't say anything
I just nodded my head constantly
pretending to hear the ignorant lecture
learning how to keep my mouth open
when that open mouth will gobble everything up out of greediness
till there is nothing more to eat
while at the same time learning to keep my mouth shut
and listen to other people without getting fed
