Individuality an incapability
Trapped within outside theories
Ideals adopted, agreeable on basis
Yet to question aspects a cardinal sin
Should self expression mean social loss of face
Labelled unaware because you beg to differ
Hiding behind a shroud of belief
Staunchly involved, highly confused
Confidence in your firmly lodged thoughts
Yet take a back seat while others speak for you
Should every single thinking moment
Be saturated with political stance
Striving for perfection
Fear of group rejection
Better to be at mental ease
Than harbouring thoughts not mutually agreed
The spoken mind and reasons why
Dictation by others be denied without fail
Search for purity leads to insecurity Individuality an incapability Trapped within outside theories Ideals adopted, agreeable on basis Yet to question aspects a cardinal sin Should self expression mean social loss of face Labelled unaware because you beg to differ Hiding behind a shroud of belief Staunchly involved, highly confused Confidence in your firmly lodged thoughts Yet take a back seat while others speak for you Should every single thinking moment Be saturated with political stance Striving for perfection Fear of group rejection Better to be at mental ease Than harbouring thoughts not mutually agreed The spoken mind and reasons why Dictation by others be denied without fail Explain Request ×
