To Save From Tripping

We’ve been taught not to reach

For our hands will get slapped

Told not to run

To save from tripping

Learned to speak

Only to be told to shut up

Taught to walk

Then told to sit down

We’ve been mentally castrated

Don’t go against the pack

Or you’re left alone in the rain

I’ll tell you what

Being alone isn’t that bad

And even the rain stops
