Not everything must stay in its guidelines
you can watch truth spill over the edges
Lies filling the gaps of love
Willing to break free or at least break
revealing true colours
To be put back into the cage it came in
We are a generation of unboxing
Love that grows on trees
Branches that snap
like those in our economy
Banks holding tomorrow
Banks releasing today
It’s okay, they say, step out of your guidelines
Who made them anyway
All signs point to them
They, who hold such a title
As they empower the powerless
As their promises become misguided
They can not spell parallel
Watch as the fruits fall with gravity
Proving science right once again
An endless option of colour
Staring to the right they create
Staring to the left they remember
Up they are comfortable
Down they are indecisive
Here they are one
But gone they are the lone wolf
We all hear howling at the moon at midnight
It’s okay to not fit into the box they created
Packaged and ready to go
Bow on top with a note
Colourful,
With a watermark centered
The texture of fine card
Embossed with the sentiment “made with love”
Reading “Not everything must stay in its guidelines”
Accepted for being unaccepted we stand as different
Our hope was never with the ‘Line’ they made us and said stay
Our trust lay in the ‘Guide’ they were to provide so that we would never want to leave.
