Today

Don't ask me
for help
or instructions

I don't want to talk today.

Don't tell me you
love me, that I'm funny
and smart.

I don't need reassurances today.

Don't prattle on with your
half-feigned martyr's sigh
about your schedule or
your problems.

I don't care today.

Today I'm invisible
silent and deadly. I'm soft
and sleepy, and feeling
self-indulgent.

Today I don't belong to you.

Do.

Not.

Change.

A.

Thing.

I like the childlike feel of this. "I am an adult, but I want to be a selfish little kid, so fuck off, you can't have any part of me today. Go away." Yes.
