Grrr! Poem by Jo Elliott

Why does it have to be other people's way?
Why should I listen to what they say?
Why when I seem to be just fine,
do people put down
the journey that's mine?

For them
it may have worked out for
and because it's opened their spiritual door,
it doesn't mean
its right for me!
Why is it this
they're unable to see?

They are only here
as a guide,
not that their way
has to be complied.
Each person's route
is all their own,
regardless of what
they may be shown.

As some go left,
some may go right.
some live by day
and others' at night.
We each then experience
something new
and I may well miss out
if I just follow you.

There are those that follow
and others may lead,
some that want
and others may need.

None of it
is right or wrong,
it's whatever we do
to help ourselves feel strong.
Why when we know
its right inside,
do others want it
to be denied?

Walk your own path,
leave me be!
I'm off down the path
that's meant for me.
