Sometimes I lie to the mirror, because at least with the mirror, I’m not lying to the world, only myself.

A life without strings attached
And people who aren’t just wooden…
Where chasing colors brings you gold
Not breathlessness
Imagine
A place where people wear there own skin as masks
And not their neighbours
Or a cheap knock off from wal –mart
Imagine
An existence where we exist as one
Because the world is a map
Not several
Imagine
If poetry were the tongue of the leaders
Not lies or curses
Therein lies freedom
In my imaginary world
