Cause no one “should” on anyone else…
~~~
It’s both obvious
And painful to see
As you expound your thoughts, judgments, expectations
You are “shoulding” all over me.
Thanks for your opinion
I respectfully decline
Your “should” — though it may have been well-intentioned
Is yours and not mine.
Rather than a should, some food for thought
Perhaps looking in a mirror could do you just
It might be your own mindset
That’s not worthy of your trust.
After so much focus outward
Maybe it’s time to look in
That mirror may have gotten a bit hazy
Like the Truth held within.
