Will you love me now?
I cannot bear lascivious looks anymore, John my spirit has changed entirely
Changed like the clothes that I change every day, replacing the dirty with the new
It is the same feeling my heart feels which hurt from the suffering of the pain
Suffering from the rope which is tying me down by enemies that insist I drown
Hurtful words which feel as if a knife is being turned
Right within my heart, the feeling of a hot burning stove on my skin turning into a red scar
Scarred and can be seen from afar, not run under cold water, It will not heal, a scar.
It is only God himself who can cleanse this town properly
If I am not murdered, I will surely cry out others until that last hypocrite is dead
Shouting like I have never

You are an impediment to my happiness
If your existence was not here, I would be able to have John a man who cares
But I look into reality, the words I wish I could say, words so deep within my heart
Good people do not go to a place of confinement
You cannot suffer bleak walls for company, love I cannot live without.
He didn’t deserve it
John you are not a person of crime
Why not confess to witchcraft?
Why don’t you want to be happy?
I mean, don’t you want to live a blissful life with

I have failed in getting you john, I have failed
If only it were so simple to cruise through life smelling roses
Dreams sustain us through the madness, mistakes are made and regrets are our luggage
Love is bitter, yet it is the bread in which keeps us together
Over and over it fills up, only to starve

    Society trusts those that conform, and distrusts those that that don’t. By conforming to society's expectation, you gain trust from the society. A disadvantage to conforming to society is when you join the group, you’re technically no longer your own individual. George S. Patton once said, “If everyone is thinking alike, then sobody isn’t thinking.” It’s like you’re a sheep, and when you conform to society's beliefs, you join the rest of the herd.…

It can also be used to give moral guidance; this was Arthur Miller’s reasoning behind writing The Crucible. In this dramatic retelling of the Salem trials, Miller ensnares his reader with stories of adultery, betrayal, and material greed. His intention, however, is not to entertain with operatic drama. This play is a cautionary tale about finger pointing and its potentially fatal consequences.…
