if you dont know how to swim
for they always have a current
that will surely pull you in

never burn your bridges
over anger or from loss
because if you burn up all your bridges
then you cant get back across

let sleeping dogs sleep
& they will never bite
but if you persist on kicking them
they just might

never say anything
you cannot take back
your own words can come to haunt you
& thats a fact

some words you cannot swallow
they can simply make you choke
or gamble with your livelyhood
will surely leave you broke

cant never could untill he tried
it's all about free will
like hiding in a closet
when you cant stay still

there is a moral in this poem
I hope that everyone can see
only you can choose your path
& what is to be will be
