Unlearned behaviour

Won't get back up.  
I'm done learning how to fall.  
All this being overlooked.  
Has made me feel so small.  
 
It's my own fault.  
No longer breathe a word.  
Silence speaks the loudest.  
All else goes unheard.  
 
It's only human.  
To temper our fragility.  
Beating each other to death.  
To prove invulnerability.  
 
It's so easy.  
Don't allow the unexpected.  
Those perfect aren't misguided.  
Therefore aren't to be corrected.  
 
Don't waste time.  
Forget basic respect.  
Besides you won't get much,  
from what equates to an insect.  
 
Too much trouble?  
Simple answer is give in.  
Despite intentions you'll be wrong.  
And If you're right you still don't win.
