| of independence or freedom
Janet Kuypers 5/31/15 So it seems you cram us in here like we’re sardines. How many of us have you crammed in here before you send us on our way? Strap us in, make sure we don’t get any strange ideas of independence or freedom (‘cause really, you wouldn’t want us to think for ourselves)... Strap us in, compartmentalize us — but the thing is, you thought I was just like everyone else, that I’d just sit back and take it. These sardines around me seem totally complacent — what have you told them to make the so subservient? Well, maybe you didn’t get it before but I’ll take a sledgehammer to your plans. I’ll shatter that glass ceiling and that two-way mirror you watch us through. I don’t care where you think you’re taking us, and I no longer care if you’re sending us away. I didn’t sign up for this ride, and being crammed in here is making me nauseous. Don’t make me throw up before I start my revolt, because whether or not you think we’re sardines, and want to cram us away like we’re nothing, just remember: I’m bigger than my ego lets on and I’ll take whatever makeshift weapon I can find, to break free of how you think we should be. |
