Tell Or Not To Tell

There are things that you could not tell
Straightforward to somebody's face
Too much hesitation is going on
Scared of what could possibly happen
Either it could damage a fragile emotion
Or it could reveal the truth
But sometimes it's better
Not to tell everything that is unnecessary
To avoid hatred and conflict
Usually leads to unwanted treason
If it's a win - win situation
There is a right timing 
When you know it's safe to say
There are thousand of friendly words
They will surely help you in
