are the only prisons we have
the ones we construct
about others expectations?
trailing our thoughts
behind others who somehow
have brainsoak'd the 99 percent
into thinking that we need to please
EVERYBODY? 

It is to suggest that as long as people perform
faithfully, as long as they are
unchained in their brain
to where they can truly
BE THEMSELVES...

then perhaps we will  KNOW
that truth exists in a cultural vacuum,
that nobody should be upset
about SOMEone leaving a position
for someTHING more or a match
to their post-educational desires.

(oh...Know Some Thing else?)

maybe should people ask:
"If life is changing, why not dare to be different, to be controversial and liven up this dulling landscape of others' expections...why not just wipe the whole whiteboard...why note chase my
#OWN dreams for my
OWN sanity and my
OWN peace of mind?
