Too eager to please
somehow knowing
the key to survival
is submission
stuffing want and need
far far away
growing wiser
means understanding this:
being silent
ignored
avoiding notice
is far easier on the soul than
attention
learning to bend will
to others
selling control
for lack of upheaval
a deadening but necessary
choice
lessons learned in childhood
and youth
recreate the compliant child
into one ripe
for relationships
unmerciful
