Keep Your Mouth Shut

Keep your mouth shut. Count to ten and when your done start over again.
It only goes south in the end.
People will disappoint you time after time. Do you want some cheese with that whine?
It only goes south in the end.
Try to process. Get some rest and then put your resiliency to the test but it
will probably go south in the end.
Seek out kindness, search for the good, avoid those places where your misunderstood.
It might not go south in the end.
