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
