When given advice I admit that I go way beyond what the hell is being said to me. Verbally and directly that is.

It’s just that

How can I embrace

Your words when I don’t fully understand?

I am sifting through the parts of me,

Rubbish in the sand.

No, I don’t trust you.

Don’t you tell people to listen to their hearts?

But if it’s the heart of one late in the wellness game I guess I’m not included in your

Disingenuous

Guidance

Counseling me for strength

But it isn’t tough love that I hate.

It’s the strenuous need to step away

From “Do as I say,”

Discernment always

Has refined boundaries

That take away my right to boundaries

Bound is me, who longs to break free. 

The guidance counselor pulled me into her office one day and asked me to roll up my sleeve.

Trouble Clef

A poem from my collection “Head in the Clouds” available on my digital downloads page.


It’s too much for you?

Well shit, me too

I was a child.

But I’m good now.
