Resist

By Mac Guerreiro Eye resist the urge to look them up,Why look to what eye could never be?Just when Eye’m getting comfortable,Comfortable being me,Naturally,“Foolish girl”Foolish indeed,Thinking you can escape the chains of this society,Its mentality,It’s rules,And boundaries,Foolish indeed to resist,Now it feels impossible to persist.
