don't be a fool

don't ever
ever
not listen to your
gut.
is there pain, anxiety.
is there
doubt,
fear?
do you have that strange
queasy feeling?
those aren't the butterflies
of love in there,
but something else.
it's your intuition.
self love
telling you to run.
listen to it.
it's your second brain.
there are
more neurons
there than in your spine.
your gut
is a genius.
it wants to save you
from
mistakes, keep you alive.
trust it. believe
what it's telling you.
don't do what I've
done
and ignore
what screams danger
from deep inside.
