"So-called 'Practical Advice'"

Sometimes genuine sympathy is nice.

It demonstrates that people really care.

I’m sick of so-called "practical advice".



So what if I have the same problem twice –

Or twenty times? You should become aware:

Sometimes genuine sympathy is nice.



Mere "empathy" can be as cold as ice.

I don’t always need answers: just to share.

I’m sick of so-called "practical advice"



And value judgements. There’s always a price

To pay these days: Something is not right there.

Sometimes genuine sympathy is nice.



There is no need to bully – just entice.

Must all of life be so harsh and unfair?

I’m sick of so-called "practical advice".



Decide my future: You just roll your dice,

Which makes it clear that you don’t really care.

Sometimes genuine sympathy would be nice.

I’m sick of so-called "practical advice".
