Shut Up

I've tried to make space.
Living in constant meditation,
yet being asked to participate.
I'm really fed up,
masking my face with a smile.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Shut up.

You're funny and endearing.
But when does that become annoying?
It was cute,
now it's not.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Shut up.

We cheered you on at the start,
now I'm hoping you'll notice
all the blank faces
no longer in support.
Please shut up and listen.
I'll do the same for you.
I know at some point,
you'll need it too.
