Ropes tied to limbs
Rough against the skin
Digging in
At every wrong move
They control it all
My every step
Every twist
Every turn
Left with only my thoughts
Realizing
They aim to tame
Each crevice of our minds
Tape across the mouth
Threats across the mind
No longer able to speak of aspirations
Or act upon them
Ideas become worthless
Opinions lack purpose
Beliefs without any meanings
Rules drilled into our heads
We have been taught to ignore
The escape right in front of us
We can cut the ropes
But with struggle
Because the ropes of society
Are quite tight
Yet some time
In this miserable life
I must choose for myself
No matter the consequences
