Suppose our chains break free.
What are we now?
Who are our minds?
Our minds think alike.
We think as a single person.
You and I? No.
We think as us.
Do we think for ourselves?
How our thoughts are intertwined!
But we are as lemmings.
Mindless.
Followers.
Do we think for ourselves?
We think as a group.
Our thoughts run as one.
Twin powers.
Multiplied by millions of voices.
Unanimously we cry.
Do others hear our voice?
We would never know.
Whether our cries come an inch away
or a mountain away
We are not heard.
We have different skins.
Different faces.
Should we not be different from one another?
Our minds should not be so close.
We need privacy.
Our thoughts should be our own.
My thoughts should be mine.
Your thoughts should be yours.
Different people.
But common thoughts bind us as one.
Break free of the bindings!
Break free of distress!
Break free to be your own person.
I am my own.
