Don't Make This Harder Than It Already Is
Updated: Aug 18, 2020
(and other commands)
Drink lots of water
Let loose and have fun.
Update your media
Make sure to stay out of the sun!
Follow through and take a meeting,
Email, reach out, and touch base
Make the 30 under 30 list…
But don’t forget, it’s not a race.
Be ambitious but gracious
Self-centered yet kind.
Go to therapy, but don’t get near me—
if you’re likely to lose your mind.
You’re the marrying type, you’re too easy.
Don’t make this harder than it already is.
Download the apps, present the facts
You’re complacent until you’re already his.
Move faster and meditate
But don’t forget to graduate.
I don’t feel that you appreciate
It would be great if you lost the weight.
Own your sexuality
But don’t be a SLUT
Instagram is a business and
Porn is smut.
Podcast and tweet,
And scream your voice heard.
Do your due diligence,
But don’t sully your word.
Protect yourself
And check yourself
Before you upset yourself.
And get put on the high shelf.
Drinking is bad
But I’ll be sad
If you miss my happy hour…
Baby shower…
Writers’ group…
Apartment stoop beer, I’m here…
At the bar for our date,
Are you late?
Or on vacation where a bottle or two
Is nothing new.
Dinner party, have a hearty
Glass of wine, you’ll be fine,
I saw it on the gram.
Catch me if you can.
I’m slick. I’m sick.
I’m sick of your commands.
Your bossy zeitgeist, rhingeist, false feist, and overpriced.
That I can’t stand.
Can’t stand for it.
