Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.<br /> Mark Twain

I ask for very little
And truly expect less
My secrets are my own
Your sins for you to view
I am not judge
Nor executioner
My opinion is of little worth
Yet heed my words
Realise their truth
You know not what I think
Or all I am
Every facet of any being
Can barely be seen by any other
Keep council of your conscience
And I shall do the same

This was inspired by a very personal experience that occurred with someone I had met very recently.
