Impair Your Senses

Impair your senses Close your eyes Cover you ears Don't make a sound Don't think about tenses Past, present, or in the future what lies You or your fears Choose, but not aloud For the rest are tempted To uncontrollably seek your cries To embrace the façade of peers To enjoy every frown Choose yourself Heal with time If you must, shed tears But remember why you chose to shine in the crowd
