Conformity is Insanity.
March 5, 2011
Make the lie big enough and
People will listen.
If I were to tiptoe to the corner of your mind
Would I see the person I know?
Or the shadow of another?
Every day
We are
Not.
Give me desperation--Flash.
Give me want--Flash.
Give me fabricated disbelief
That we could accept anything less.
Flash.
I will
Not.
Fall forward into the depths of falsified reality.
Because the person behind the mask
May very well be
Just like
You.
