Correction

Some people know what’s best
for you.

They take out their pencil
and cross out your many mistakes.

They put little notes in the margin
for you to study
so that you can rewrite your life.

Shhh!
or they’ll give you the look
that says they can read you like a book.

They're sure you've lost the plot.

They’re giving you another chance
to put things right.

They'll tell you what to write.
