All this silverware confuses me.
Can i not just use one fork throughout the dinner?
These customs are foreign
and, quite frankly, pointless.
Generally,
the manners and appropriate etiquette.
Who determines these accepted factors, anyways?
I'd like to introduce them to a new concept.
No one cares.
To make me into something I'm not
and don't even wish to become.
To fit your obnoxious rules and standards;
that's not priority.
The idiocy of politeness and folded napkins.
Are you trying to make me a trained monkey?
Or a minion,
a robot,
some absurd calling card to impress your friends.
Am I only an illusion of a person,
some kind of manufactured silhouette?
When will I be allowed to be myself?
I'm not even sure if there's such a thing.
Behind all of your schools and tea parties,
that's where I lie.
And someday, I'll release myself from this nightmare.
For now, Lady,
which of these identical utensils is appropriate,
since they're all highly qualified for their specific types of food?

this isn't at all what it was supposed to turn out to be, but i've been having problems with that lately. really, just help it out. and is the last stanza okay, or should it be left out?
