mother told me
True words are often kept unsaid,
so my mother told me.
True thoughts are often left unread
her gentle hints would mold me
Words are only obstacles,
creating new blockades.
Thoughts are something topical,
a game of vain charades.
If words and thoughts were living and thinking
their truths would unbind us, our knots unkinking.
Instead, we grapple
with words and notions.
Mother told me to
guard my emotions.
