When they decide whom you must have interest in, 

You must obey. 

When they tell you to ignore the one who pines for you, 

You must obey, 

Ignore all words, ignore your heart, ignore your debt, ignore your guilt, 

You must obey.

When told to be subservient to one who does not move you, 

You must obey. 

When he tells you to abandon being public, isolates you, 

You must obey, 

What to think, what to believe, what to care for, what to dream of, 

You must obey. 

And when you’re done obeying and the world becomes an undefined haze, 

A haze that dims your light forever, 

You might wonder what happened, 

Why your life did not go your way.
