Thank You, No

Mother, you see my misery,
my inability to lose weight,
to live a normal life
and you want to tell me,
to show me, what worked
when you were there.
I can see you've changed,
you're different, but it's your way,
not mine. I have analyzed
the steps, thought them through
and I'm not willing to yield
to some power greater than me.
Leave your arguments,
your explanations.
Don't you understand
a prophet is without honor
in her own family?
