I Sit In a Room Full of Opinions

I sit with my opinions firmly around my heart Not taking them out for anyone Not sharing them, not using them in any way For I have learned that if they know I have them They will try to revise them, advise them, resize them So I sit here, in a room full of opinions, drinking my tea Eating my croissant, in silence, listening to the stupidity that flows As the others try to convince others that their opinions are the right ones I have saved myself a lot of grief and a lot of torment and they have become my minions. No one notices as I take out my pen and begin to write.

A little gem, Karen. Bravo, or should I say Brava because you're a woman. Love the title too. Yes, I've self-isolated myself. One more week to go and I'm out of here! Stay safe and healthy. / M

Brava. Love it! Thank you. I am isolated too. With my husband, the cat and the dog.
