Duct Taped Mind

by Spirit   Sep 12, 2007


"Keep your ideas to yourself,
let no one know your fears,
hide what's on the inside."
They spoke it crystal clear.

None shall know your feelings.
None shall know your thoughts.
And don't you ever let them know,
your determination's shot.

You must always behave yourself
so you'll never be "that kind",
but right now that seems easy
for they've duct taped your mind.

They've hidden what should not be seen,
covered all you flaws.
They've barricaded your whole mind,
and started building walls.

They've taken all your talents
to flush them down the drain,
yet they say it is your fault,
if you ever go insane.

So knock down all your walls,
all your fences, all your binds.
Take off all the duct tape,
open up your mind.

*Never let anyone control you it is never fun.

    Ok, The title definitly caught my eye. An interesting topic you had chosen for this poem. Control. A big thing which effects people in everyday life and you expressed it so well. I felt as though you feel you've been controlled before because of the way you described it, it seemed to be so real. The poem was amazing definitly such an enjoyable read. Keep up the great work. ~Mel

    Hide what*'*s I think it should be.

    But right no that seems easy
    I was a little confused with this line.

    The second to last stanza was my favorite. Beautifully written.

    So knock down all your wallS
    and youR fences, all youR binds (what's a bind?)

    Good concept. Interesting title. 4.
