I was never told as a child
that
if you don't yell
nobody will hear you
never told that
they only ask how you're doing
to hear you say
"fine"
that
when you adapt to your environment
you will only grow gills
as opposed to
wings
and
they expect you to grow up
but you cant
if you don't accept
that you must envelope
a particular taste
for the endless obsession
of order &
society
lumped
into one overflowing mass
of man-made obstacles
...an over complication
...a self indulged struggle
they never tell you these things
as if it were etiquette
to blindly follow
all the others
to their inevitable
self destruction
only on this earth
were we destined
for a slow death
by our own hands
our own minds
own minds...
do you
own your mind?
program your thoughts
or your thoughts
will be
