The Words are my Shackles
Wealth is at my fingertips.
 All I want to do- is LEARN.
 But these ideas aren't real-
 they are human
 they are created- by man.
 "Words are not absolute
 and cannot define the absolute."
 It
 Means
 Nothing.
 I scream and cry and beg
 for these words
 to leave
  me
 ALONE!
 I wish I could go back
 to a time
 when my mind could be
 F
 R
 E
 E
 but these human ideas-
 these words and labels
 are restless.
 And they do not leave you.
 Once they are rooted in,
 you cannot pull them out.
 
 SO although I want to learn-
 I feel constrained.
 You can only reach a certain
 point, with these words as
 Shackles
 
 upon your wrists.
