spill your feelings

have your loose lips
begun looting
your chances of success,
turning potential into worst nightmares?

does your intuition
tell you you’re contributing
to your slow progress
and growing distress?

keeping a secret can be tough
like an irresistible cough
for some, keeping a small circle
can be a major hurdle

but for your own good
always confide in a book
few people really care
about your welfare

away from prying eyes
in the security of a private life
spill your feelings into a journal
the good, the ugly and the carnal

come back later
to revise the lessons of past days
if the truths are too hard to swallow
drink some coke

  3. Benji, I like how “spill your feelings into a journal” makes it feel like a secret place just for you, like hiding your thoughts where they can’t get you in trouble. This is really good.
