I used to read proverbs

The rising anxiety of right and wrong

By Ashley McMahonPublished 2 years ago • Updated 11 months ago • 1 min read

I once had found a saying wise

It danced before my very eyes

But when time came to show I knew

I could not tell what I should do

do I forge a path

cry or laugh

speak a soothing word

be silent or heard

give an apology

stand orthogonally

let space between two

explain it thoroughly

make an unresearched decision

risk an incorrect or fatal incision

disconnect entirely

forget my original vision

just... breathe

I once had heard a saying wise

it stood apart from other lies

but when it comes to what to do

best not pretend I always knew
