We’re all born the same, unfettered by preconceived limitations.
Eventually, we submit to laws. There are those we must embrace in order
to be free... The laws of iron and discipline. Then there are those we
must challenge for that very same freedom... The laws of conformity and
small-mindedness. The weight of these chains are so subtle, we forget
them. This is how we are shackled, tamed. Normalcy becomes the rule and
we grow comfortable with limits. Like a dog at the end of a leash, we
move but never of our own will.
Why am I not in bed, like everyone else, dead to the world? Why do I do this, live with the constant pain, the suffering, the sacrifice? Why? Because I can. Because pain tells me I'm awake. Reminds me I'm alive. Who am I?
