Speak for Yourself

I hold my tongue.
For the relationships.
For those who just can't handle it.
For the bullshit.
I wish I could just say the truth,
the world would be a better place.
A free-er place.
A Me-er place.
A place in which,
I could speak my mind,
free my mind.
Not have to lie.
But the world doesn't work that way.

Full of white lies.
And broken ties.
But that's just the way it is.
Business
and marketing
and networking.
Not what you know,
but who you know.
But do you know?
That the mind doesn't work that way?
Bottle it up?
All the truth?
All the reality?
Just because you're too scared
to know the true meaning of you and me?

You don't create the game.
You're in the game.
You play the game.
Just another face-less name.
A title-less book.
But you can be shook,
out of this reality,
and into your own reality.
But that's just me,
thinking that's how it shall be.
