Utterances

this is what i've learned so far

Here we live.

In this world of false expressions.

This place where we are told,

self expression is everything.

But are rejected when we are really our selves.

 

Here, we are only meant to play the part,

imagined up for us long ago.

We are raised to stay in line,

do what we are told.

All the while being told,

this is what we want.

 

But its not.

Real self expression can only begin,

when we take a risk.

Step out of the line of rules.

Even if it means leaving behind,

the people we really care about.

 

Leaving behind only the hope,

that they might one day follow.

Follow you out of the dark.

And into the light.

 

Because only then,

can you truly begin to understand, yourself.
