Posting – A Cautionary Tale
The words that are written come straight from the heart
But when they are read they are taken in part
Dissected, interpreted to understand
The meaning behind just a grain in the sand.
With many opinions that fall from the page
Helpful suggestions, sarcasm and rage
Sympathy, empathy, just being there
Informed information to show that you care
But caution – DON’T POST if you’re feeling unsure
Or fragile or stressed - it is best to ignore
The question that jumps from the words of a thread
That pulls at your heartstrings once it has been read
The words on the page now scream out for reply
And I sit here not posting and let the words fly
I think my own thoughts – but they stay in my head
I take the safe option and read the next thread
