Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Who Needs My Opinions

To let her know what my views are
It might shut her down
Maybe destroy our friendship

I know hers.
She is loud and proud
Yelling them, wanting me to agree. I listen instead

Who needs my opinions?
Truthfully no one.
I keep them to myself

Making friends of every group and creed.
Ignoring those who stereotype and label
Putting others in boxes. An ignorance I simply overlook.

Not willing to ruin a friendship
