If it ever began,
Sometimes you do something for so damn long,
You forget you're human,
That you used to have thoughts that were your own,
Trying to sort things out,
Not knowing those you sought out for advise,
Accepted walls in exchange for their doubt,
Compromised what they held as absolute,
Slowly, not on purpose,
In increments until they were convinced,
That they were virtuous,
Then, 'long came you,
Living in no-man's land,
They took you in, wanting to protect you,
From your naive attempt to understand.
