everybody has a chapter they don’t read out loud
something they don’t want to talk about
they may be uncomfortable letting it out
they think they may break down, all doubt
don’t ask, just stay in regular
the person may now feel better
the chapter was written for a reason
reading it loud or not, is the writer’s decision
with the writer, let the privacy be
don’t be, “tell me all when you’re free!”
give the person a personal space
they’ll happily end the chapter, by god’s grace
