What do you mean, “go for it”?
How can you say, “Speak up”?
Nobody taught me how.
Nice girls are agreeable.
Nice girls are patient.
We don’t make mistakes
or talk without permission.

Nobody taught me to love
the terrible freedom
and the wild solitude.
I did everything they told me to.
“Be patient, ” they said.
“Compromise, co-operate,
wait your turn.”
