I've just been told by my friend:
What's in the mind,
what's not publicly disclosed,
is okay;
For whatever's in the mind,
is safely kept from the public eye,
and hurts no one,
he says...
How true - 'coz i've been doing that all this while:
keeping every thought safely to myself, in my mind...
not wanting to hurt or to offend -
mostly 'cos of the fear of adverse reaction,
when i'm too frank,
and too out-spoken...
but then it's also not fair,
to just jump to conclusions;
and to keep them all to myself -
not giving him the chance to clarify,
or to counter - whatever that is rightly judged,
or prejudiced, or far-fetched -
not giving him the chance to right the wrong,
and to put things straight - back to normal...
So, it takes a friend to know my heart,
a friend to catch what's fluttering around -
and to pin it down: the truth in life;
it takes a long lost friend to see -
the secret thoughts, and the secret dreams;
it takes a true friend, with the key, to open
the secret vaults in my heart,
and in my mind...
and to make public the most well-guarded secrets
of my lonely heart...

Have you not heard of "talk in the sleep" and not snoring and munching away.
ReplyDeleteWhy not talk it out. Sometimes it is not easy to find the right key and this can be a mental torture.
Thus causing the other party having mental disorder...hahaha.
Hey, that is dangerous - to be talking in your sleep and blabbering all the country's top secrets will get you murdered in your sleep before you can even face the firing squad! Haha!
ReplyDeleteWell, i suppose one can be frank and go hit the nail on the head... but then that will make it lose all the fun of solving riddles and unscrabbling secrets passages to the heart...?
Okay, will take your advice, my friend, and 'talk things out' whenever i can - instead of keeping everything bottled up inside - to avoid the 'mental' torture...!
