Questions Asked



I rarely answer questions to me asked.
Especially from those seeking to disagree.
Done to prepare for an argument.

And this to know is no mystery.
You have been there and so have I.
The moment someone,
Opens their mouth to say...
'This may sound stupid, but.'
Do not wait for that but.

And,
Before they say another thing...
Agree to their stupidity.
With a knowing this to notice,
Your peace of mind found to find it...
Will always seem to attract,
Others wanting to prove...
They know more than you do!
About whatever it is meaning nothing,
To leave on your mind left to prioritize.
The choice is yours.
A headache to get volunteering for it.
Or a peace of mind you earned to keep.
