Margins

Stay in the margins

Don’t speak up, stay quiet, the adults are talking

What are we supposed to do?

Stay in the margins

Be yourself, but not if society doesn’t like it

Speak up, but if you are different, society doesn’t want to hear it

Margins

Stuck in margins

Pushed to the side, fighting for attention

No one cares about honorable mention if you aren’t the best

Stay in the margins

Can the margins move?

No one pays attention to the words in the margin

Society only cares about the words on the page

Big idea, big meaning, big world

Small margins

Who cares about the margins?

People test ideas in the margins

Guinea pigs in a lab

Stay in the margins

Stay in the lines

Don't miss step

Don’t overstep

They raise their voices, not you

Don’t talk back

Stay in the margins

Margins outline life

Outside of the box still has to stay in the margins

Obey the lines and be timid

Disobey them and be rude

Stay in the margins

When do the margins change to the page?

When

Does

It

Change?

Powerless, not powerful

Stuck in those controlling margins

Controlled by the words on the page

Stay in the margins

Here, empty margins

What about the margins?
