if you can't breathe
and you can't hide
but by each rule
you do abide
than if you scream
or if you cry
if by wonder
you yourself are shy
when you wait
at others feet
and treasure
every word they say
then never yourself
would you be
when others words
are in your way

This piece is about something i have seen a lot : people pretending to be something they aren't so that others will like them.
