Untitled (Don't Step Outside The Box)A Poem by ghaw2007Untitled (Don't Step Outside The Box) Verse 1 Don't step outside the box Always looking out Wondering what all this commotion's about We are stuck here And we're always trying to live the simple life We try to keep things clean We try to keep progressing Maintaining a sense of identity is like climbing Everest But that can't stop us No, it won't stop us From ever realizing our greater purpose Witnessing and storing everything in sight Disliking what we're processing We'll try to change it Change it for the better Implement a new code for generations Verse 2 Pay no attention to us You do you, I do me Let us be with our forgotten, tortured dreams Fear and hate reside here And we're always lying to live another day Being surrounded by filth ultimately makes us filthy It's a badge of honour And it's worn proudly Don't judge us for being different from you We'll never be shamed No, you can't shame us Changing our ways is like wanting elephants to fly Destroying and disrespecting everything in sight Disliking those who stand in our way We'll try to ignore them Pretend they don't exist Influence generations that will come to be Verse 3 When we're ruined, we'll hide behind powerful protectors They create the laws to which we abide by No accountability, no remorse Our future is predetermined We're carried along When things run smoothly, then things are rough And the days will rise and fall on the whims of men Unpredictability is invisible And it's everywhere just like air Chorus Fight for your kind And we'll fight for ours Battles revolving around lines In pursuit of victory to occupy minds It's dangerous, it's complicated, it's worthwhile Written by B.
