The Cause

Whatever happened to
A will to be outspoken
Without the validation of those
Who only know you through
Screens that weigh down hands that
Rebuke the conversation that we

Refuse to have due to
A sense of retribution
For feeling somehow different than them?
Whatever I think
Whatever I say
Both sides will see me
As a person to be
Feared

Why is
Friendship just a mirror for your
Thoughts and beliefs?
And why is that I've been feeling
Like silence is the only shield from this deceit

Victimized
For not towing a line
There's a time and place for posturing
Without a purpose and I don't really think that's for this
Is common ground a swift right hand
To all the things that you just have to think to exist?
Is this just what we are now
People without thoughts that bring us closer to feel
Each other?
Blame is for the other side's pain
Whatever happened to not knowing?

We're all experts in this
Our minds are made up
Fortified. Always right
Would rather die than change them
