I Am the Expert of Me
They are all experts.
With lots of advice.
I am doing things right
Except
I have done something okay,
But
I have not had as much experience, so it is their duty.
Ha!
I listen and I learn and I laugh.
I know when to stay, and when to rapidly leave,
pretending I have important things to do.
My best advice comes from within,
From my soul, who knows my past,
my present, and maybe my future.
All of us are experts.
We all know what to do.
Because we all have souls.
All we have to do is listen to our hearts.
But to advise another
On what is best for them to do.
That is the kind of arrogance I have
Run from as fast as I could all of my life.
Even my parents did not have these answers.
If there is one thing meditation and prayer have
taught me it is that I am the expert of me.
