The Forbidden Tab


Your turn on your moniter 

Turn views on private 

You lock your door 

Shove blankets near the floor

 

You make sure no ones home 

Afraid of punishment you knwo is coming 

You turn down the volume 

Locked away in your bedroom 

 

You open the forbidden tab

Search things you shouldn't know

You are amused on the outside 

But you know you don't wanna be on this ride 

 

You feel pressured to do it 

You wanna be like the cool kids 

But you really don't want to

And that voice inside your head says "I wouldn't if I were you"

 

You know you shouldn't look 

You know what your parents would say 

You feel empty, you feel hollow 

You realize reality is a hard pill to swallow

 

"Do it if you aren't scared"

But I know it's not about bravery 

It takes more guts to say no 

But you keep telling them "Wow, What a show"

 

-A.G.
