some people say, if you don't talk, people will think you're a sick cat.

other times, when you do, you'll be thought as someone overpowering, too vocal, that you drown out other thoughts.

so when do you shut up and suck it up, and when do you speak out knowing that it'll raise a tsunami of problems in the future. is it worth it? does speaking up actually work anyways?

no wonder there is a saying: shut up and keep your head down.

I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost...I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in. Its a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault. I get out immediately.

IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V
I walk down another street.
