Advice on Commitment

Advice on Commitment

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

Never sell yourself to the wrong person. Give yourself to the right one.

"
decorate your person
improve your life
if you can with other people
  share existence

intimately and if you can frequently
(if you are so lucky)
love all of the lovely people

though never lie to yourself
  define the term enable
before you very truly risk yourself

to the depths of anothers insides

remind yourself
  you are always able
  always, to walk away from any fable
for the truth,   that the very beautiful stories
         can too quickly become the most dangerous poisons 

devastating disasters


a wasted life
a broken heart

dysfunctional children
confused familial relations
hatred
spite
guilt 
shame

regret or if you' are unlucky

    Jealousy the one with the capital J 

in a general ruination of the emotional self
 pure self loathing


 a loss of hope...
an acceptance of despair... this can be real
really real


that is the truth today
as it will be tomorrow
like it was yesterday

so always decorate your life
but never at the expense of it
rather, only to make the most of it

 and more than one person will thank you
(and less people would hate each other)
