Silence mistaken for unintelligent thoughts. Inability to voice an opinion must be lack of one. How do you undo years of protection? The life raft of self-reflection and silent contemplation still afloat, Will I drown if I jump, or will I find water deep enough to stand? And if I do, how far will I be able to walk? You can't walk very far crawling And you can't swim if you can't stand And I wonder if the life jacket you're holding is my size

Life jacket
Silence mistaken for unintelligent thoughts. Inability to voice an opinion must be lack of one. How do you undo years of protection? The life raft of self-reflection and silent contemplation still afloat, Will I drown if I jump, or will I find water deep enough to stand? And if I do, how far will I be able to walk? You can't walk very far crawling And you can't swim if you can't stand And I wonder if the life jacket you're holding is my size
