Thought is ****** Freely thinking of anything. In the safety of the mind, One can be mad:                                         A jealous fool,                                         A lover,                                         A ******                                         A murderer. Anything he fancies. The true self That is hidden, Often times behind our masks:                                        A smile,                                        A blank stare,                                        A muscle contracting,                                        A layer of skin. The mask is so familiar; It seems like truth, Yet the knowledge of falsehood Lie deep inside like:                                       A root,                                       An anchor,                                       A burrow,                                       A secret. Deep down in the caverns Of the body. Once light shines, We can see:                                      A horror,                                        A misshaped,                                      A disgusting,                                      A vexing sight. Lies and truths, Mixed as if one. The sight is unbearable, So we keep it locked away:                                      A convict,                                      An enemy,                                      A rat in trap,                                      A prisoner. The prison of Our socially acceptable Will destroy completely Our true personality:                                     A self,                                     An image,                                     An x-ray,                                     A representative. Tis dangerous, that our identity Is safe within the confines Of our mind freely thinking. Because thought is ******

What Separates But Connects Us All
