Prison

I shan’t tell you how I really feel,
You wouldn’t listen to me anyway.
Too steeped in a mindset, so shallow;
The way they see us, bodes no argument.
Do they really know us, anyway?

Criticize me as you damn well please.
Critique me, why don’t you?
Throw it to my face, I won’t back down.
My life is mine for the taking.

Too many constraints in this reality,
Why should I conform to your ideals?
A chain, a cage, they put you in a prison
My soul is suppressed; it yearns to be free!

A break, come on, say it to my face!
To them all I say –
Damn, I just don’t care!
