Self Censorship

image

POET

now that you can say whatever you want

that nobody is going to incarcerate you

that nobody is going to kill you

what are you waiting  for?

or maybe you have nothing

left to say

why  are you escaping

within meaningless metaphors

of superfluous images?

why do you get lost

in the words

and lose the meaning?

Who is censoring you?

are you censoring yourself

to get a prize

to be seen on T.V. 

to be honored

so you can be forgotten.
