Advice

My life is in confusion
Because of ones like you
Who tried to do the best for me
But were doing the best for you.

I may not know everything
But I do know what I do
I’d rather make my own mistakes
Than have you help me to.

I know I need to be alone
And sort this whole thing through
To see if I can handle myself
Is what I want to do

So you can keep your free advice
Your gifts and wisecracks too
Because I’m going to make it work
I’m going to make it through


Written 30 years ago during my divorce, whew, long time ago.
