Little Boxes


Why do people feel the need to put us in boxes?

To make us conform to their standards

They try to shove us in

And we tell them "We won't fit"

But they try anyways

All that comes from this is

Us being in pain,

And them being tired of "haing to do everything for us"

"Why don't you just fit? It will make things easier for both of us."

But I don't fit, and if I ever do,

I won't be happy.

Is your happiness more important than mine?
