Hell Is What You Make It
From cognitive thought
is born societal expectation:
The how's, should's and definite no's
We are bred to:
think
act
speak
Coloring outside the lines
is frowned upon.
Frowning is bitchy.
Smiling is expected
if attached to a specific gender.
I don't care for rules
or tools I was told to use.
Resourceful is my middle name.
I don't blame the sheep
for following the shepherd.
The-buck-stops-here
the cycle must
be
BROKEN
the chain - gang - together
to break
FREE
This is our life to choose
what we make of it.
