Out of Schemas

They speak language of greyness
From birth I determined to live it
Closed in a gray 
Gray like a 
mouse BoxTown Imagination
taking routes to roads but possibilities
Limited by indoctrination of unreachability holding 
a glass of schemas enforced on me strongly
 inclined to
drop it semi 
accidnentially but more not than so 
A few threw at me a couple
Of
discouraging words but I could choose
To
 make them my cyanide or
Something else
Some of
Them looking though unaware of
The door opened in front of them
I've grasped the idea of chains more deeply
I'm 'free - er' as if and
Listening to the passing time
I drift 
With tranquility as my companion

Such con-fusion is the beautiful truth so vibrant once discovered embeded in our languages of Choice, our own unique schemes and dreams.
