What would I change?                    What should I change?

                            Nothing.                    Everything.

                     Everything is                    Nothing is

                  as it should be.                    as it should be.

                     Look around,                    Look around,

                at all the smiles,                    those are not smiles,

                   see the delight                    see the pain

                      in their eyes.                    in their eyes.

                 They are happy.                   

                                                               They are not.

                                What?                   

                                                              They never were.

                      Stop, please.                    Do not pretend

                      Please, stop.                    You do not know.

              You should know                    You should know

          that you are running                    that you are clinging

    down a dangerous road.                    to the ceiling

           You will be hunted.                    of a bottomless abyss.

                                                               Let go.

                            Stop this.                   

                                                               No,

                      Do not speak                    I will not

                     another word.                    be silenced.

                        Stop, I said.                    Something

                        I said STOP.                    needs to change

                           SHUT UP.                    and the change begins with me.

YOU CAN NOT DO THIS.                   

                                                                 I already have.

                                    No, I                    You know

                        do not know                    as well as I

                 that we must start saying what we really mean.
