Universal Codes

February 7, 2014

I want what I can't have

But who says I can't have?

Who determines these rules?

Who determines these fools?

I love when I shouldn't care

But when am I supposed to care?

Why are there restrictions?

Why set terms and conditions?

I move when I should be still

I talk when I should hold my tongue

I laugh when my heart should ache

I give when I should walk away

There is no right, there is no wrong

No requirements needed to belong

I don't believe in your universal codes

I'll love when I feel and do when I know

Something wrong with this poem?
