So I Agreed

I remember the first time
you told me to not do it
so I agreed and it all started

you said no one cares about you anyway
no one notices you
so why pay attention to yourself
I agreed and it all started

I continued to listen as
you told me to deny my hunger
to deny logic basic instinct natural desires
somehow
what you said made sense
so I agreed and it all started to end

you never told me I would
not be able to sleep
you never asked he said
you never told me I would stop talking to my friends
you never asked he said
you never told me I would care more about your approval than Gods
you never asked he whispered

I am telling not asking you to be silent
I am telling you I want to reconnect to God, friends, family, and self
what you say no longer makes sense

I remember the last time I listened to you
I told myself to just take the first bite
so I agreed and my life started again
