Short'N'Sweet

Hi there! I really liked this. As your title points out, this is short and sweet, which is one of my favorite types of poetry. Your flow and word choice hooked me from the beginning to end. You manage to tell a complete story in only a few lines, which is really good. Sometimes the shortest poems are the most powerful.

However, I think you could benefit from adding a bit of punctuation and changing the order/adding a few words. That would certainly help a few of the confusing spots. See below; corrections in red, comments in blue.

Don’t speak around the gossipy ones,
^
Added a y at the end of gossip so it becomes, "gossipy". I think that is what you originally meant, and besides, "gossip" on its own doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence.

We all want to be “someone”.
^
Added a period, and secondly, why are the quotation marks there? You don't need them.

The lives of those we care about,
^
Changed "life" so it matches with the plural, "those".

And for the rest, we just shall pray.

I love

Don’t speak around the gossip ones,
For they have enough to say.
We all want to be “someone”
In the future we just may.
