Rule Number One

(A/N): A little poem I just came up with. I don't usually write poems since they're not my forte, but oh well.

There was a time

Life was benign

And there was always more to experience.

I explored the world

Free of life's hold

Taking all my journey had to offer.


Exploration was encouraged

My spirit was undamaged

I was always ready to know more.

I could touch nature

Wander places from pictures

And discover all I wanted and imagined.


However, one day

I wanted to play

In the grass with the boys next door.

The answer was no

For it would only show

That I was wild and without order.


It only continued

This endless feud

With my love of fun and adventure.

For years it went

This relentless torment

Keeping me from experiencing wonders.


Even today

When I want to say

That I want to spend time doing more,

I don't bother

In fear of the answer

That I can't because of the little risks.


Now here I am

Reaching out a hand

To the people I wish to be with.

But something else takes it

Bends it and breaks it

Walking away after saying to me,


"Even if

You sometimes wish

The rules you are told would go away,

Remember this one

That will never be gone:

Young girl, you may look, but not touch."
