They expect us to sit up straight
Look nice all the time
But this isn't really about chairs

They expect us to be perfect in everyway
Not an unwanted curve in our carvings
But this isn't really about chairs

They expect us to be there when needed
Like we have nothing to do
But this isn’t really about chairs

They expect us to look perfect
To have no flaws
But this isn't really about chairs


And what about the chairs who dont sit up straight?
The ones who aren't perfect in every way?
Have one too many curves?
What if they aren't there for when you need them?
What if they have something else to do?
What if they have flaws?

What do you do?
Discard them?
Say hurtful things about them?
Point out each and every flaw?

Maybe, just maybe it's not the chairs
But the people who use them,
The people who made them

But this isn’t really about chairs
Is it?
