being the smartest is great at 12
you can do anything,
says the pressure that tears through skin,
crushes bone and cripples your soul.
because they do not mean anything
they mean go to university
get a job that pays well
what if I want to write? I ask,
it doesn't pay well.
what if I want to sing? I ask,
it doesn't pay well
you are not capable
of being talented
at what you love the most
you are connected to us
by iron strings
and you shall follow
a dream that is not yours.
