Unsolicited Advice

Do what you can
with what you have
take a stab at stuff
throw everything
against the wall
see what sticks
bounce your
ideas around
watch what lands
have a devil-
may-care approach
don’t let depression
encroach or impede
your needs
look at the flowers
not the weeds
feed your body
and your spirit
don’t even listen
when you don’t want
to hear it
do whatever the hell
you like
what does it matter
anyway
all you’ve got
is today
for tomorrow will
come and wash
the past away…
I hope this helps you
and you don’t take it
personal
for I have given you
every self-help cliche
in my arsenal
