We All Must Go Through It Sometime

Going to the same schools with the same people The worst you could do is get a name Your name sticks There is no going back That one faithful day That one horrifying mistake We walk around making sure that we look our best Never letting our pants be unzipped Always making sure that our shoes were free of toilet paper Fearing to get called zippy, or toilet train Dressing so uncomfortable that we get cuts and scares from the clothes that we wear Making sure that we look like everyone else Our differentially is stripped from us the moment we step into that setting We are no longer our own human being But a frighten wolf following the pack Never questioning the leader Never roaming away Trying to comfort ourselves by reminding that we all go through it Is this normal? Do we need this to survive? Wanting to be yourself Can’t find a reason to let go Afraid of the consequences Be yourself If they give you a name at least it is unique At least u will show your kids that they have a chance A chance to succeed without need the approval for worthless scumbags they call bullies Maybe we are afraid Of the “friends” we will lose The things will miss But who wants to be around people that can’t even accept you for who you are So forget them We all most go through the choice But we get to regulate how much we take
