As soon as you're born, they make you feel small
by giving you no time, instead of it all
Till the pain is so big, you feel nothing at all

They hurt you at home and hit at you school
They hate you if you're clever
and they despise a fool
Till you're so freaking crazy, you can't follow their rules

When they tortured and scared you for 18 years
then they expect you to go and pick a career
You can't really function
You're so full of fear

You've been doped by religion, people, and TV
You still think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still freaking peasants as far as I can see.

They tell me theres still room up on the hill
But you have to learn how to smile as you kill.


This Is Not Here

How do I know where to go when I don't know which way I'm facing

Very, very interesting. Very true as well. The last two lines were especially powerful. It was a great ending to your poem.

Kill in the sense of conquering your fears and being on the top on the hill.
That's how I took it.....
I liked the poem...very well written.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
