Cognitive Dissidence

It's a matter of perspective

This game we play called life

Our attitude will dictate

What is joy and what is strife.

We complicate life's issues

With doubt, mistrust ,and fear

And lose in the confusion

Our ability to steer

We get caught on crazy tangents

Vectors trapped in time and space

Believing the illusion

We are competing in a race!

We find grooves that we fit into

Roles played in society

Limited by definition

All our flexibility.

Inside us rage the tempests

Which we fight so desperately

suppressing all the knowledge

Which we search to set us free.

Interesting paradox

The walls we feel confined

Are built and reinforced

So carefully within our minds.
