Look
I know this may sound selfish
or childish
irealistic
but I just
Can't
I need you to agree with me right now
to just say yes
say okay
let me do as I wish
Let me put off--
whatever I’m putting off
Please
For a little bit longer

I don’t really know how to explain
Standing in this silent/not silent house
The sounds are almost distant
Like they’re far away
And I feel like there’s just too much going on
Like,
I can’t manage to start anything
cause there’s too much to start

So,
I know it’s hard to
conceive
To understand this request
As more of a mental health need,
But if you could just--
Go along with it
If you could just--
Agree
That would help a lot

So if you wouldn’t mind
Just forgetting whatever you’re asking of me,
just for 20 minutes
Please
and thank you.
