Suicidal Scorpion?

I once heard that if a scorpion is held in a cage with the same environments over a longer period, it will sting itself with the dagger on its tail rather than stay trapped, because it cannot live knowing it is held back and has to stay at the same place its whole life. Therefore, those who keep the majestic creatures as pets(God forbid) must rearrange their scorpion's home every day. Every day. Is it worth it? Turn every stone and every branch around, to fool the scorpion into believing it is actually moving around in the world, experiencing new things and areas, and climbing new rocks(which is in reality the same bloody rock it has always climbed).


I'm like a scorpion in some ways, are you?

Routine leaves me restless and system annoys me. I don't like organized work and I don't like it when people cannot think outside the box. I don't like waking up in the morning knowing exactly what my day will consist in because every day before it consisted of the same, and every day to come as well. Maybe that's why I'm not that fond of school.. hmmmm. Yes.

If my confines were restricted to a cramped cage with a tiny rock, some greasy newspaper for a ground to walk upon and some feeble attempt of creating a natural environment by adding a little lump of grass, then I would've settled the poisonous dagger at once. Well, that is if I did in fact have a lethal sting attached to my bottom.


I want my days to be a mystery, what will happen today?

Some call me restless, I call it adventurous. Some day maybe, I'll be okay with settling with what I've got. But not for now - there's so much to do and so many interesting people to meet and so much to see goddamnit! Why waste that on experiencing the same every day, dying slowly in a painfully boring routine?

With school pressed against my throat like a knife I have no other choice but to accept living in a half-routine. Having stones turned over, and my bowl of water changed every now and then. I can't wait till I can do whatever I want. I hope it'll turn out as I wish!
