One day we will not have to write in code
and the words will flow as easily
as water up a hill.
The machinery of denial will be in fill force
to correct the errors of the
souls pressed between
the pages of a book.
One day we will not have to pretend existence,
and our lives shall no longer be filled
with doors and windows.
We can open and close them depending
on our points of departure
from reality.
For together we can imagine that the
screaming of solitude is
actually the opening
of the mind.
One day we can stop hiding our illusions
behind paper thin barriers
that we have created
in order to define
our surrender.
We are liars, each and every one of us.
For we speak of liberty yet chain
ourselves with lies.
We are soldiers in a war of indifference.
We champion free speech
yet we fear opening our hearts.
Sometimes when we cry
we mean only to survive.
