He spoke his mind.

The reply?
Snickers and whispers.

Yep, last time he does that.
"So much for my ideas then."

Thrown to the wind like a piece of discarded paper.
Discarded.

***

He decided to try again.

The same reply was received.
Snickers and whispers

Definitely the last time now.
And you wonder why he has become so withdrawn,
So quick to chase people away.

He is not being anti-social,
Or mean,
Or even rude;

He is being smart.
He has learnt his lesson.

Never again;
Never;
Never shall he ever let himself be discarded.




Dear Reader(s)

Never let anyone discard someone elses ideas. They could be the exact solution to your problem. They could be completely wrong, but at least they tried.
If the person who used to answer all the time became silent, then they have been discarded. Don't let this happen to anyone.

@JenniferNightshade put it beautifully. "Her voice brimming with ideas. Quiet for a moment, waiting for her chance." (JenniferNightshade; Fragments of my Imagination - Her words were important.)

Be very careful about discarding someone and their ideas, because they could end up being your end.
