Giving Advice
It’s tricky when you give advice
Without somebody asking,
For even if your words are heard,
The truth takes some unmasking.
It’s easy overstepping bounds
To offer an opinion
But often, you just trespass
On what isn’t your dominion.
It’s hard to know what someone thinks
For feelings might stay hidden
And honesty, though touted,
In the real world seems forbidden.
So you should tread most carefully
When offering advice,
‘Cause tipping apple carts sure isn’t
Worth the sacrifice.
