The Welcome Speech
Just sit there
you’re new here, so listen up
I don’t awaken easily
and I hate staying awake
if you must ask questions
make sure they’re well thought out
don’t waste my time
and keep your hands off my stuff
remember
there’s just two of us in this cell
and the guards
are down the hall and sometimes deaf
don’t ask why I’m here
and I won’t ask why you’re here
and when I get up
I get to use the toilet first
I’ve been here
longer than you’ve been alive
so don’t think
you’re the boss in here
in the other world
you might’ve been some badass
but in my world
you’re just the new fish
I’m holding back
more hate than you’ll ever feel
so don’t get in my way
and I’ll treat you more fair than most
and if you’re smart
don’t let me see you cry
I really hate
people who can still cry.
