I can’t be free
To be who I want to be
Especially when i don’t know who that person is
Is anonymity a good thing or bad?
There has been so much good done by people who remain in a faceless shroud
Needing no recognition or praise
Sometimes I think they just want to be truly themselves and
To express themselves freely and without worry
Why do other people’s thoughts and words and glances mean so much?
Why can’t they be ignored?
Will we lose a connection to others somehow?
Is it possible to care about people but not care what they think about you?
Can any of us really achieve this?
What does it mean to be free?
Maybe freedom from negative thoughts which bring you down and make you less than you are supposed to be.
It seems so difficult to be your authentic self
In society today
But I don’t think society is to blame
It must be the mind’s fault
