Overdone rituals and the burden of traditions. Peer pressure and annoying gossip prevailing above reason and reality. The unwarranted compulsion of academic excellence, with no acceptable compromise! Our rotten society and it's cruel, cruel judgment! Living in a body, no, it's a cage-- Craving acceptance in isolation-- The cage became a cave And eventually, the door shut. It got so dark inside, I could only see black... I was sick of it! Frustration rising to the point of retardedness! *Angry! So very ANGRY!* I wanted to defeat it, This darkness on the inner side. So bad, the ache for reprieve was getting worse! So desperate! For a way out... Then, inspiration struck! And a melody chimed its way in. With the clock going tick tock I imagined a chocolate block; And I ate my way out! I've never bothered with their rules again.

Unwarranted Compulsions
someday when I die if my thoughts continue on without a body or being I often wonder if my postconsciousness will still think of you will you be the last thought the final breath I draw guiding me to the stars a voice whispering I'm good and still loved if you are engraved into my very soul impossible for me to wash off or remove I'll die haunted by the person you are the things we never were a lobotomy can't fix me you will still exist even when my heart stops beating
