Restriction
People please people to ease ease themselves Treat yourself yourself you you you you and you you you you are yourself yourself Father sees sees you and he he sees sees himself You look at at him do you you hate yourself?
Why is it the norm to always hide me Who is society?
Where do do the the rules come from why don’t they break? Everyone seems to some secretly hate “Tomorrow life’s different” in some people’s dreams Written down hundreds of times it it seems Fantasy’s escape it is not real Thousands live life in books under seal
