I’m Not Sorry

Huffs
It’s not your call to make.
Stares
You shouldn’t be waiting any longer.
Scowls
I don’t want to be unhappy and stressed.
Crosses arms
I’m just trying to help you.
Stomps
I don’t need that kind of help right now!

Clenches
Well, you’re taking too long.
Inhales
Because I’m not ready.
Stiffens
I’m just saying, I’ll have time now to help.
Sighs
And I’m saying that’s great, but what do you want me to do? I don’t want to now.

Eyes roll
You’re getting old. Why are you waiting so long?
Grimaces
Because I don’t feel ready! I’m not prepared at all.
Emotion swells
The first few years aren’t even that expensive.
Squints
It is when we don’t have jobs!
Splish
That’s why I’m saying we can help.
Stands up
And I’m saying, I want to wait until I’m more secure.

Splash
Why are you getting so angry?
Scoffs
Why does everybody always have to ask me?
Sniffles
Well fine, I won’t ask anymore.
Turns away
Great! That’s helpful.
Winces
Fine! I won’t help at all then.
Leaves
Thank you!

Slams
You just don’t understand.
Shudders
…Why won’t you just understand?
