My Declaration

Location

You are not supposed to be complaining

For fear it will lead to being changed

You are not supposed to be thinking

For you will find yourself estranged

 

You are not supposed to cry

Feelings are overrated

You are not supposed to pry

All questions are to be deserted

 

You are not supposed to collect dreams

They may lead to flight

You are not supposed to seek light beams

For the dark is to be your light

 

But I dare not follow

For my mind shall not be hollow
