save it

if you want me to disappear
tell me what i can't
read, or watch,
what i shouldn't write.
tell me the food i should
be eating, how much water
i should drink.
tell me about kale,
about spinach, about squash.
take the gin away,
the cake,
the ice cream too.
go ahead, try and be my boss.
inform me on how to live
a more productive life.
preach to me about purpose
and direction. go ahead
i dare you.
if you want no more of
me tell what to wear,
how to love, how to walk.
instruct me on
what to say, what to believe
in. trust me, at this point
in my life,
i know who the hell i am
and don't need to hear it
another time, over and over
again. get lost.
