Chapter 988

It Is Private

Everyone needs a few secrets
Some things they don't want known
Everyone has done something
They would rather not own

Maybe they didn't do it
Maybe it was done to them
The truth isn't always fair
It's easy for others to condemn

Often when a story is told
Some details are forgotten
It's more likely than not
They were about something rotten

A half truth is a lie
As are lies of omission
It's a shaky narrow path
When the destination is contrition

Some think it's easy
For others to assimilate
They would rather isolate
When they feel it is private

Nobody
