"calm down" they say.
like it's some kind of ******* incantation
that will soothe the beast
like those words make things happen

i know words that make things happen.
they lie on either end of the spectrum:
"i love you"
and
"i hate you"

the words "calm down"
don't change anything
they just show that you're doing something someone doesn't like

what if i don't care?
