Some people are full of good intentions

They lay their opinions 

and flag their misbeliefs

they focus on the ifs

and they always claim to know better.

 

I find their views as tedious as my predictable ex-boyfriend.

 

What they claim to know is common knowledge.

 

What I want to do goes way beyond it.

 

With eyes colder than ice.

My voice lowers as I dismiss their advice.

 

What I want to do requires love and devotion

not some nonsense-senseless good intention.
