Equanimity

Your inside is on your outside
Your thinking process in wide-screen
You have to conceal your secrets
or have them published in full colour print.

Reveling your inner thoughts,
showing your weaknesses,
but your weakness is also your strength.
You dare to be yourself and to stand alone.

You, you walked away.
You walked away from our normal lives.
Became a stranger to society.
Began a new life, your own life.

You’re rowing alone (upstreams)
in the dried out marshes of mind.

It’s a shame we can’t get closer to the bordeline,
where mental battles are fought.
It’s a game of reasoning, a game to lose,
where people, like cattle, are bought.
