They say
Smile,
As they cut your mouth to make it wider.
Walk,
As they bind your feet together.
Laugh,
As they inject you with the happy serum.
Vials upon vials are emptied into your heart.
Cry,
As they stab you to make the lump in your throat rise.
Don't Scream,
As they tie you up,
Attaching you to their horses.
Whipping them,
Watching in amazement as the horses pull your limbs apart.
Be yourself,
As they force you to be something and someone you're not.
Dance,
Yet they laugh and scorn when you show your emotions with blank faces.
