I Keep My Counsel
I keep my counsel
Secrets hidden from others
With open eyes
Looking interested
Too open they think
Yet slammed shut
Tightly and with good reason
Trusting no one
I appear invincible and self-confident
Listening to their secrets
Telling no one
Understanding their frostiness
Wearing them down without trying
For their sadness recognizes mine
Still I do not share
Trusting no one
