Stuck in a Box

Post by Brian mclaughlin » November 28th, 2015, 10:32 pm

Stuck in the box
a steel trap of a mind
when rusted shut
a man falls behind

Our language is wicked
when with one single word
so many meanings can vary
with the way they are heard

For the mind that is closed
understanding's a chore
but once it is open
it can perceive so much more
When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak. ~ Audre Lorde

can't argue with the logic here.....words have power.... beyond the perceptions, the closed mind can become paranoid
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
