Just Stop

A rant about "helpfulness"

Billions of women in
Millions of places for
Thousands of years
  have gone through the exact same thing as you
So just stop worrying

Just stop complaining
  it can't be that tough
Just stop whining
  others have it worse
Just stop feeling stupid    or guilty      or sad

Just stop eating junk food
  and you won't feel fat
Just stop sitting around
  exercise is good for you
Just stop making excuses for yourself

Just stop crying
  over silly things
Just stop beating
  yourself up
Just stop thinking this will last for  ev    er

Billions of women in
Millions of places for
Thousands of years
  have gone through the exact same thing as me?
Now just stop what you're doing

Just stop with the platitudes
Just stop giving out
  non-advice
Just stop half-listening
  to my pain

Just stop pretending
  that you are helping
Just stop ignoring me
  like I can fix myself
Just stop treating the symptom    not the core

Just stop with the snap judgements
Just stop acting
  like you know me
Just stop thinking
  you know what's going on

It isn't easy to
JUST.
STOP.
