i am waking up pushing my way through the plastic covering all of the ideas i was never supposed to touch so many ideas i am choosing to walk down halls with varied perspective mirrors i stop at the ones that make me look fat and don't believe the ones that reflect a flattering figure i walk on i observe i internalize i try to understand why do i think the way that i do? i was born into a straightjacket on the rungs of a one-way ladder never saw that others might be scaling or ascending the same wall with rope sheer strength the stairs who am i to judge which way is better? "the injuring of another can be in no case just." (as long as it's not hurting anyone)

when my professor and Socrates make a baby
i am waking up pushing my way through the plastic covering all of the ideas i was never supposed to touch so many ideas i am choosing to walk down halls with varied perspective mirrors i stop at the ones that make me look fat and don't believe the ones that reflect a flattering figure i walk on i observe i internalize i try to understand why do i think the way that i do? i was born into a straightjacket on the rungs of a one-way ladder never saw that others might be scaling or ascending the same wall with rope sheer strength the stairs who am i to judge which way is better?
