How I yearned to ope the cage let my opinions fly But my parents wisely kept it locked stowed away the key Knowing what would happen if I ever spoke my mind

Actually, my parents kept me quiet until they passed. Some say it's too bad they didn't live forever. lol.

people will stop asking "what do you think"....when you start telling them....is it wrong to be right and not say anything and vice versa

I suppose you were destined to speak your mind...I was sort of that way...Didn't express my opinion much, but when I did it was a mouthful...my mother always said, 'measure your words carefully.' Parents are wise...

My father: 'Everything in moderation, son.' Also words of wisdom there...
