Notes About The Poem

ACCEPT YOUR STUPID

Accept Your Stupid

 

Getting to know your

 

Stupidity means admitting

 

what you think you know

 

is not working for you.

 

When you realize this:

 

Then, and only then

 

will you be able to;

 

Embrace positive change.

 

As you search for the truth

 

more will be made plain.

 

But when you think you know?

 

all that you think you know

 

"think again"!

 

Go to the other side of

 

what you know

 

and find out what really is.!

 

 Grab these revelations

 

with both hands, do not

 

hold on to any parts

 

of the stupid notions

 

that have kept you for so long

 

"stuck on stupid"

 

Or in a stubborn stupor.

 

You may somehow miss stupidity.

 

Like you would a reoccurring tooth-ache,

 

at first predicting, yet not wanting,

 

it's a painful throbbing to return.

 

Once you've been

 

assured that the unwanted

 

"stupid" is gone;

 

Continue your path of

 

gratitude and growing.

 

Delight in your newfound

 

wisdom and understanding.

 

Seek divine knowledge until

 

you've reached the crypt;

 

Know your strongholds.

 

Acknowledge your gifts;

 

Ask to be lifted to the pinnacle of wisdom;

 

And of right spirit, and discernment.

 

Side-step negative forces, and

 

never again be the orchestrator of them.

 

Refrain from hoarding the seeds of truth,

 

Instead, plant truth seeds, unsparingly,

 

in the fertile gardens of the willing.

Encouraging, Vicki. As Socrates said, "An unexamined life is not worth living." Admitting that one may be lacking in wisdom, is not easy, but it is the only way to grow. Your poem is full of advice on how to do that. Blessings.
