Advice

Ever notice some people like to give advice;
they usually think they know better.
But before you follow, you’d better think twice;
especially if they seem a go-getter.

Struggling to know how to fix their own lives,
in no way inhibits what they do;
for, they have no power to empathize;
but determine they’ll fix your life too.

They intimidate by the use of invectives;
your logic they seek to invade;
and replace your considered perspectives,
with ideas their own thoughts have made.

Why would they try such persuasion;
do they not consider your thoughts stable?
Why else would they consider invasion
do they think as a person you’re unable?

Why is that some really like to meddle;
must they always show up with suggestions?
Before they allow the dust to settle;
must their advice consist of corrections?

Always remember when seeking advice;
it’s life’s medicine we take with a frown;
for the meddling one who tends to prescribe it,
can turn your whole life upside down.

When making decisions you should always deem;
who is best able to decide what to do?
No matter what others you may hold in esteem;
In the end, who knows yourself better than you?
