Bee in my Bonnet

Sometimes I get a bee in my bonnet
I’m not too sure why
When I think that a principle is wrong
I write things down and try
 
To persuade others of my point of view
But is this really right?
I may be correct in what I say
Or it could be that others might
 
Have better ideas- Am I too conservative
In the thoughts that come to me?
Perhaps if I’m more open minded
I’ll look around and see
 
That others might have different perspectives;
My views might not be better than the rest
Perhaps it’s better just to keep my mouth shut:
Maintain friendships- perhaps that’s best.
