Risk

By Mike Bullock

Have you something on your mind
Secrets that you’re loath to bear
Would you shock another’s ears
As your deepest sin you share
It’s a risk to let it out
Another mask allowed to fall
Who’s to say the time is right
Maybe it’s not time at all.

We are all a fearful lot
Frightened of what people think
They might turn their backs on us
Probably they wouldn’t blink
It is better out than in
God is with us all the way
Go on, let the poison out
Take another step today.
