Go ahead.
Educate me until all passion has vacated.
Educate me until all that’s left are facts and figures
Which I am forced to filter daily.
Toxic dangerous fumes
That flood to my mind like black steam
Until it evaporates and forms a cloud.
Now acid rain falls upon me,
Burning through my clothes.
My heart and creativity are its target.

Go ahead.
Educate me until all I consist of are facts and figures.
Educate me until I have no opinion only the filtered facts.
They leave me drained and weary
My mind is misted, consumed by success.
People are all the same.
Even the outsiders in their little groups are gazing and gawking.
A snake visits me nightly, I wait for the hiss!
But the bite never comes.
