The bonds that bind by ~Ricard08:iconRicard08:



As I gaze upon this empty page,
of the book that holds my life.
Confined by customs to my cage,
I must break free with my knife

The knife of course is collective thought,
ridiculed by my peers.
In this social jail I'm caught,
pursued by overseers.

To escape I must leave no trace,
of my presence  in the light.
It seems shadows rule this place,
as we lose the fight

So fight with me and bring it down.
Bring freedom to the mass,
of people who are left to drown,
until our capturers pass.

This was partially inspired by the song "They perched on their stilts, point daring me to break custom" and this work of art by TheMesmerisingJelly ([link])

It is about the social bonds and social acceptability.

Have you ever felt pressured to be part of the norm, and give yourself up to being something your not?

Its easy enough to say be yourself, but under so much pressure we all begin to crack.

Hope you like it
