Honesty Is the Best Policy

Should you really describe how you feel Or pretend all's fine which will cause an ordeal To avoid disruption In everyday function A serious decision before your next meal

Hello Happy Jack,sometimes it is okay to describe how you feel. Sometimes not. Because you don't want to cause an argument. So quiet is the best. it depends on the situation. Love Darlene xxxx-oooo
