Is it safe to let go and fly away?
Or am I forever stuck to conform
to the views of a world so cold?
Do what it is you want me to do?
Say only what I'm allowed to say?
Put your foot here now there.
Look this way now back again.
Do not go there it is not allowed.
YET you tell me I'm free!?
What is freedom to you?
You know what, do not answer that
I will answer it for you
You are at the proper age.
You can make decisions on your own
BUT not that. It's wrong.
Take this class you need it to graduate
Don't worry if you fail you can try again
Just not more than twice
Oh look I think its graduation time
You did not do that well in those classes
YET they say you did just fine with a C
The colleges you applied to stares intently, pondering
Is this person going to change their ways
and views to fit in with our school?
We care about this student, right?
NO! You want to know why?!
I can tell you the reason WHY
they do not really CARE about you as a person.
They need you to help them stay accredited.
Especially in the high schools it seems.
Take you in. Teach you nonsense. Throw you out.
We need the resources for other students.
Another day. Another student. Another excuse.
To use the very things they tell us we need against us.
But you shalt not worry about what you cannot control.
Control? That's just the thing you control LITTLE in your life.
Free will was hard for you to come by since birth. And yet
America. Our land of the free and the brave
Seems to be the land of the captive and the cowardly.
Although not always the case!
It surely is always in your life.
Therefore it is time to come together to make things change and ask
Am I forever destined to conform to your ideology?
Or can I unleash my wings and soar into MY OWN character?
