What is one to do?


What is one to do?

In a household of inarticulate emotions

where crying is viewed as a superstitious notion

and there is an absence of love and devotion.

What is one to do?

In a place of dysfunction

broken ties

and inevitable corruption.

What is one to do?

One must not conform;

but rather, contradict.

One must express their inner conflict.
