rules
you know what's fun writing with out punctuation it makes the person really pay attention
to what you're saying and then you get to forget about the rules that's something i never
ever do i can never let my gaurd down never forget the rules rules from the parents the
school my peers society myself the one's from myself are the most important the ones that
let me know when it's ok to cry and when i can't let them know how i feel the rules that
tell me i must be perfect only if it's just an illusion the voi ces telling me that i must be
skinny and thin and pale and beautiful even though i'm not the rules telling me how i have
to restrain my joy so you will not judge me how i must not give in to all of your
expectations and i must live up to all of them at th e same time i must not admit how
much it costs to keep living this lie how i must not let my pudge show when i sit down
and my jeans dig into my stomach how it must go away that pudge my hips must swallow
it all and become flat how i must follow the rules not cut class not be a prude not be too
much of myself not tell the truth keep on living this lie
