Upbringing traps us.
In word prisons,
we are locked.
You will believe this!
You must reject that.
We learn to shove,
then rapidly grab.
Parents and peers
have applied the cuffs.
Shackled by their beliefs,
fed by their misguided opinions.
Our assumptions are
cell doors.
Throw it all away,
to use the key,
and open to
a mind free.
