Give In

It’s stupid and dumb
You whisper in your mind.
It doesn’t even matter, hum?
Every negative reason, you find.
It’s not worth it,
I don’t really want this.
We know you want to fit,
Your lie, but the good you also dismiss.
Would it really be so terrible?
If you didn’t,
The feeling would be unbearable.
Don’t you get the hint?
You were meant for this,
Your time is now.
Let go in bliss,
To give in, you must allow.
Of course it matters,
It wouldn’t be worth the time,
It is another step in your snakes and ladders.
To restrict you is also a crime.
