Don't Look Down

One of the most ridiculous things is that there must be expectation both on and by society. When we try and meet them we fail; when we try and go against them we somehow manage to meet them.... they are are part of a no-win situation that for some god-only-knows reason play such a huge and affecting part of our everyday lives.

There are all these 'shoulds' that are placed upon us. Some of them make sense and others really really don't. We are forced into molds and shaped to fit - one size fits all despite the preaching for originality. How are we supposed to be ourselves when we are to be exactly like everyone else?

But then, even those that step outside the cube and fight for their own identity become cliche and trapped inside another box. Its box after box, cube after cube, cage after cage in a never ending maze of conformity and confinement....



And why do the spectators always tell the fearful not to look down? That's the first thing that you do when you hear it screamed at you.
