Don't

Don't laugh when I'm not happy
Don't smile when I am sad
Don't whistle when I'm frightened
Don't appease me when I'm mad.
Don't comfort me when I'm crying
Don't finish for me what I began
Don't applaud me when I'm successful
Don't call me a wonderful man.
Don't fix me when I'm broken
Don't humour me when I complain
Don't embrace me when I'm like this
Don't ask me to explain.

Sometimes I come home cranky and don’t want nothing from no-one. I realized this one day when I was calm and started writing the poem, then couldn’t stop. In addition, sometimes I just can’t be placated, because I’m indefinably angry. I think that this poem reflects this attitude.
