And Yet
Inside my mind I alone no horizon am bound.
Inside my mind with others outer consideration abound.
Inside a room I alone no taboo am spellbound.
Inside a room with others inner impulse runs aground.
Inside my mind I alone speak my mind.
Inside my mind with others I am critique entwined.
Inside a room I alone myself do find.
Inside a room with others a mask fall behind.
And yet
by tears and laughter shared,
my heart will ever be lovingly ensnared.
