In No Position To Recommend Or Suggest Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I refuse in these days we all live,
To be caught up in others' lives...
With an empathy to give,
That understands what took place...
In their reality based childhoods,
That has left them with dysfunctions...
They can not honestly face to confront.
I know of no one who knows about the topic,
Better than I do to document with proof.
And with no magic wand to erase the affects,
One keeps to identify for the rest of one's life.
I am in no position to recommend or suggest,
What someone else should do...
To have 'me' relive what they have gone through,
If I have stated a refusing to do this I will do.

'Heal thyself with every tool one has been blessed,
To possess.'

~Is that a suggestion or a statement? ~

However you wish it to interpret.
