Stop

It's too much
Too much noise
Interference
Static
Buzzing

Too much talking
Too much singing

Always telling me
I'm too fat
Too unhealthy
Too poor
Too ugly

Always telling me
To look younger
To make money
To save money
To lose fat fast

Always telling me
To take more meds
To whiten my teeth
To dye my hair

Too much!
Stop telling me
I'm not good enough
How to dress
How to decorate
What to drive

Make it stop
ENOUGH
I can't hear myself think
I can make my own decisions
I can do what I want
I will be ok without your advice

Leave me alone
I'm turning you off
