Dear rule maker, i do not have the time to give you a proper salute as you have designed in your list of etiquettes, but here's a letter for you, telling you about the way i feel in that cage you locked me. This was what i dreamed about
I closed my eyes, blown by the wind of awesomeness, the garment of innocence fell.
Then i realised that i mistook my pretense for my innocence.
I knew i had to look back because even when i thought i was innocent, i knew i was guilty.
Before i broke mums rule, which said 'thou must be different' she never indicated how different i should be.
If i was good, i'm different from what you think is bad, and if i was bad, that also is me being different.
Packed in a silly cage of rules, even before i broke out of the cage, i broke all the rules.
It was in my heart i kissed him, touched him, and begged him for romance, still in the cage of rules.
It was in my heart i conceived his baby, nursed them, and prepared him dinner, still in the cage of rules.
It was in my heart he took me to paris, bought me diamond rings, and took me shopping, still in the cage of rules.
It was in my heart i saw him in my blanket making me feel so secured, still in the cage of rules.
It was in my heart he gave me pills and told me how to prevent it, and bought me a ticket to wild life.
I was different because, they did it where you see them and judge them but i did it in my heart for the fear of judgment.
I'll live 18years for you, but the rest of my life for him. But in my heart where i rule, i live for no one.
When i finally breakout of this cage of rules, then i'll come along with the kingdom i established in my heart, the kingdom that gave me no rules, the kingdom that gave me freedom, the kingdom i rule.
This is the mind of a youth surrounded by rules, that you don't see me do them, doesn't mean i never did them. It means i never broke your rule.
You taught me how to break rules. Please cage my heart and my thinking because they are the experts in rule breaking not me. HAVE A NICE DAY RULE MAKER!!
