Words

My words
 
are clandestine,
 
sacred
 
to my heart,
 
do not presume them frivolous,
 
for I selected to share them with you,
 
to unlock myself to you.
 
If your words aren’t kindly,
 
then please,
 
retain them to yourself,
 
do not consider the urgent fancy
 
to disclose your thoughtless
 
noise of expression.
 
For I care.

Exchanging words with others should be done carefully and considerately. We should never offend each other verbally. Good write.

Do you consider it unkindly and thoughtless to offer criticism? Just wondering.
