Hush hush don’t say a word
Hush hush
Don’t look up or down
Don’t move
Hush hush
Don’t whine
Don’t shine
Don’t smile
Don’t be
You should be funny
Hush hush
But don’t laugh
You should be courageous
Hush hus
But don’t act all tough on me
Don’t fight me
Don’t exist
Hush I said hush
Don’t talk
Don’t cry
Hush hus
Don’t be a splash of color,
Inspiration
Don’t spend money
Don’t eat
Don’t choose
Why aren’t you eating?
You aren’t funny?
Oh, you’re gloomy
You are sad
You are always…I don’t know
Mad
But hush hush
Don’t explain
You don’t exist
In my orbit
