Better Judge

Please, don't tell me
How I feel,
Or what I need to do.
You mean well,
But I guarantee,
I'm a better judge
Than you.

This was my 30th poem for National Poetry Writing Month 2012. I wrote this because I felt like I was being condescended to and brushed me off by friends, authorities, and generally everyone. I feel like this applies to a lot of situations though. If you notice, the last line is one letter (k) away from saying "Thank you." That is to emphasize that the advice/critique is unwanted.
