ignore the shoulds
the have-tos
the obligations
the following of the rules
even the suggestions set out by those not within you

you know your brain
(though sometimes it may not feel like it)
you know your heart
(though you used to ignore it)
you know the gut feelings and the the things that feel right in your
soul,
so
just follow
those

(even if they don’t make much sense in the
present
tense)
