Trust Your Gut

You should always trust your gut.
Ignore advice that starts with, “But…”
And let that door swing slowly shut
That leads to other ways.

For if you heed a different voice
And give in to another choice,
Most likely you will not rejoice
Since caving rarely pays.

It’s true, your gut may steer your wrong
But when that inner pull is strong,
Where it may lead’s where you belong,
For instinct rarely strays.
