Don't look to me
Poem...inspiration...some thoughts!
By Paul StewartPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read
Don't look to me for all the answers
Don't look to me for the "right" way
Don't look to me for the easy pathway
The easy pathway to happy lined by chocolate coins and decadently sweet gummy bears and strawberry laces
Look to me for all the wrong answers
Look to me for the "wrong" way
Look to me for the hard pathway
The hard pathway to some semblence of happy lined by bitter dark chocolate and sour apples and pears
Don't blindly follow the blind

Omgggg this is so true!! I can barely give myself good advice. How can people think I can give them solid advice? My solution to everything involves murder in some way. Lol. Loved your poem! 🍩🥐
Mmmm, dark chocolate, sour apples & pears. Sounds like a wonderful afternoon repast. (Yeah, don't look to me either.)
It's only through the wrong way that we see the right. Walking a path of mishaps is certain for all of us. None of us have all the answers, much less all the right ones, especially for someone else's life, but we can still be an inspiration. And you, my friend, are an inspiration! Loved the imagery in this one. Wonderful job, pal!
Loved the imagery with the sweets and treats!
I feel this concept could easily turn into a series. “The blind leading the blind.” So much truth here! Don’t we all feel this way, deep down? I’d like to believe so. Leaves room for humility.
Hannah's made my reply for me, and you already knew it anyway. That said, if you happen to come across some strawberry laces, don't forget your old pal! Great job!
great poem, Paul
I like lollies.
Ach, often the hard answers are the right way. We must look to ourselves for what right looks like though.
