Sometimes the world just weighs on me
The contrived rituals
The idiotic fallacies
The charades we play
And the characters we portray
It weighs so heavy on my heart
All the pretenses
The myriad of facades staring back at you
All around
Wherever you look
Even when you're just looking in the mirror
I wish we could all just be stripped back down
To our innocence
To our whole real beings
To our raw true selves
But that requires a level of truth
We are all so far removed from
In our daily lives
It would probably be like traveling to a completely foreign place all alone
With no knowledge of the language, customs or terrain
With no currency on hand to make your way with ease
And no one to guide you
Terrifying thought to most people
For good reason
What can you depend on?
When you can't depend on your defenses, manipulation, prestige, attributes and wealth
When the walls you've built that create who you are are no longer valid
Who are you when you strip it all away?
Can you even say?
Do you even know?
