pick and choose

Sometimes we need 

to try on 

another person 

 

We try on 

different

shoes and socks

blouses and pants

and when we think

it might matter

better looking

underwear

We need to try

on patience

and Love

forgiveness

things of that nature

We need to remember

We are good looking

Smart Wonderful

And mostly we need

to pick and choose

Who we listen

to

so we follow

our own path

Yeah we need

to follow

our own path

 

[Nikki Giovanni {1943- } 'Our Own Path', from Make it Rain]
