Obey

And then it hit me

Like a fucking train

Going so fast that I hardly had a second to breathe


People pleasing had been my life

Pleasing my family

friends

boss


I was so caught up in how to act

Who to be

And I lost me


When the schools taught us to respect authority figures and keep our heads down and shut the fuck up


And I listened because that’s how my grandparents taught me to be…


Respectful


But there’s a different between being respectful and

Being a slave


Yet no one gets it


When are we all gonna wake up?
