Writing a novel before you can open your mouth
Editing every response until nothing comes out
Taught from the earliest age how to filter the rage
Into silence that speaks for itself
Split down the center, divided and made to behave
You're in my way
Feeling the need to conform even when you're alone
Feeling yourself going under when you're under control
Building a character out of your character
Trying to hide in a stereotype
Honesty has been replaced by a neutral display
You're in my way
You're in my way
