Don't Be So Quick to Pick Them Up

I think I've said enough,
About the importance of letting things be...
What they are.
Without the wanting to enhance them,
Or advance delusions placed upon your shoulders.

There is a reason applied to everything done.
We prefer not to become too closely associated,
With the outlook some say comes.
But in the letting of things be what they are...
As they come to be what they are,
Would save you the weight of added burdens to carry.

Don't be so quick to pick them up.
They may not come to you at all.
What will you then do...?
Feel neglected?
