1999 Dare

It's a fractal,
one week goes the same as
one month
one month as a year and
one year as a decade

Every girl gets their heart crushed
in the same way,
in this silly game called life

Some where,hidden, is an unwritten set of rules:
wear whatever is in fashion...or else
Do what I tell you to do ... because I said so
You SHOULD be as pretty as those models

ANd silly us obey these rules of life, but what for?
To make others happy?
To make people think that we are respectable?

Well, who's decide what's respectable?
No one but you
You must do what you want to do
You must wear what you want to wear
You must look like you want to look

Don't follow the rules of life, that would be like living in a prison
Everyday you take orders from people
Everyday you do what someone else wants you to do

That's not right,
It's time to break the rules of life
We need to live a little
For once go out on a limb
Do something different
Don't get stuck in life's rut

Go ahead
I dare you to be yourself

-1999-
WOW - it's like I wrote that freshman year of high school - how "chicken soup for the soul-ish
