They’ll tell you to take it easy
To slow down
To be careful
You’re not what you once were
You could hurt yourself
Or others
You’re vulnerable
You’re harder to teach
Naturally
You should get rid of some of that old stuff
It’s just clutter
Just memories
Just your memories
Just your memory cues…the things that center you
They look back on a life worth living
And remind you of things undone
Things you’ve yet to do
They’ll tell you its because they care
They’ll tell you to be realistic
But when were you ever
You should tell them you’ve more
You should tell them you want to live all of your years
You should tell them you have so much yet to learn
You should tell them to fuck right off
