Statement Said To Me Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

'Don't do something just because it's the right thing to
do', if you never hear or listen to another thing I say,
remember this, don't do something just because it's the
right thing to do'.

An echo from deep within, brought out in an emotional
statement that I can understand, yet having no clue why
it was said or how it relates to me.

Having no understanding of what lies behind these words,
said to me, being lost, mystified, wondering what I'm
supposed to do with these words dancing around my mind.

Needing an explanation to put it to rest, after being
helped to understand what it could possibly mean, scaring
me at times, because I can't fathom the meaning on my own.

Nothing to guide me in the right direction, needing the
help of the person who said this to me, so I may finally
understand what it is she's telling me.
