don’t follow me

don’t copy me

don’t accompany me

: I don’t know where I’m going

or when I’ll stop

‍

don’t use me as an example

: I threw my mold away

I forgot the model

so that nobody else

in it could fit.

‍

don’t follow my footsteps

: they are erratic

without beginning, middle, or end

like footprints in the sand

there’s no sign

or guarantee

of a happy ending.
