Only in the Right Way

December 16, 2013

I always wonder how to do things the right way

My teachers tell me to be “creative”

“Think outside of the box”

But my box stretches further than the sky

My box stretches wider than the sea

“Be creative” yet your creativity is the idea that

The words that are splayed across this page

Are the ones you want to hear,

And not the ones I want to write.
