Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Everybody Is the Expert

Everyone knows what you should do
Shouting out suggestions
Giving you their best advice
Usually unsolicited
None of them have walked an inch in your shoes
Not even a half inch
But they are all experts
They dump their suggestions into your ear
They text you their new suggestions.
They email you suggestions they have gleaned from their friends.
Stay out of their way.
Let them do it.
They must be getting something out of it.
All you have to do is what you want to do.
They are not the boss of you.

Gershon Wolf January 11, 2020 at 8:04 PM So true… that's it's all just unsolicited noise from folks who either don't care about you and/or have a dark agenda. Sound advice, Caren! :) gw Caren Krutsinger January 12, 2020 at 1:01 PM I hear people's advice and I laugh, knowing if they could have done it or if they wanted to do it, they already would have.
