These rules and regulations
all made for all our safety
when did they become more?

So smothering
with no room to wriggle.
Why do I feel trapped?
follow them too strictly?

They say we have a choice to follow
but to differ is to be ridiculed
even receive a penalty
whatever the size.

The rules made to protect me
make me feel lost

Somedays I want to walk diagonally
instead of straight block by block.

but I don't

because what would be the point
of breaking a rule for want?
