Is there something you need to say?
You might want to do it soon, today.
Before someone tells,
before love fails.
Secrets will come in the mail,
demons create an earthly hell.
"It wasn't me," they all say--
act real innocent on a wedding day.
What isn't revealed is one likes to play,
fed by others about what to say.
Did you speak truth or hide a lie?
Will someone be hurt or possibly die?
Look for what is wrong,
when a story runs too long.
Never assume you know what's real,
never go on what you feel.
Deceptive people play many games,
attempt to make some go insane.
Be the one that stands out,
be the one who permits truth to shout!

Your Family Doesn't Want You Exposing Them
Family fear writers, singers, artists, and anyone else who creatively expresses truth. They know sooner or later that free spirit within is going to want to share something about the family. "Oh, my dear! What on earth is she going to share about us now?" says the worried parent.
Whether you are in business, at home caring for children, or working at the local park, someone somewhere knows something about you that isn't altogether nice. Now does it mean that you are worthy of a front page news story? Absolutely not. But most likely, you aren't the one that the truth-seeker, creative type wants, it's the liar, the strange, the weird, or the mysterious one that is more interesting in your family.
It doesn't pay to be that one who likes to hush everyone. "Keep quiet," says the grandparent. "I don't want it getting out about..." That was his first mistake, he wanted everyone to shut up before one word was said.
People with a shoddy, unrighteous past, work hard not to let certain information get out for fear of how they might be viewed. But rather than worry over what someone might say or think, you should be grateful you even have a life worth talking about.
Something I often see in media is a humiliated celebrity sharing more information about his or her self, in such a way that he or she looks honest, open, and cured from past indiscretions. For instance, you learn that a celebrity has a terrible past, so you start talking about it to everyone you know. The celebrity finds out and rather than come to you and your group and threaten you, he takes your information and uses it to benefit himself. He says, "I know there has been talk about XYZ and I have been working hard to change my behavior. I am seeing....and I am doing...and I hope that my fans still love me through it all! Those that cast a stone on me are not without sin and shouldn't judge--God is my judge. Maybe those people who have talked about me have some dark issues we don't know about--huh? Instead of talking about, examine yourself." Now who looks like the loser?
As much as we would like our business to be kept to ourselves and those who know about it, it just isn't going to stay tucked away in our minds forever. Some information has to be told. There are families who have committed acts that are unspeakable, and if these acts affect your future, the next generation, one's health, how you interact with others, and what might be still ongoing with other victims, it is time to sound the alarm on those hurtful things and get some resolve.
You will not be well-received or liked with all, your family may kick you out, and who knows what else might happen, but if peace is more important to you then popularity and favor--then go for it! May God be with you!
