Who's Confusing What To Do
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
If the truth and reality,
Can not by you be felt to accept.
It's not for you.
But for someone else this could be true.
If you know in your heart,
You should not participate...
In what others begin to start.
Step away quick to depart.
To know what's not for you to do.
If the doing of anything,
Does not fit as right as you would like.
And you stay to remain,
For another way to make okay.
Although you feel any way to decide,
Does not keep the bow tied into a knot.
To stop the air you breathe drop.
It's not for you to solicit approval.
Until acceptance is given to get.
Know it's not for you.
Accept to yourself and done to admit.
Without hesitating.
Or confusing yourself what next to do.
Before looking to exit.
If it's not for you and you know this is true?
Who's confusing what to do,
Heard to hear excuses made.
Then later apologize to say,
You had to leave to have had forgotten...
A heating pot on the stove.
When others already know you don't cook!
Or stated you have a microwave oven,
Still in a box not yet to have opened
