"The Censor"

stifle my feelings

tell me what I can think

amend my beliefs to fit your own

control my words with your raised fists

remove my logic

suppress my truth with  your denial

protect your illusions by overpowering reality

create your stories that rewrite history

pout and threaten and yell the loudest

edit and cut until I don’t exist

We all deal with this type of person. They have their own agenda, and if our point of view doesn't fit with their world view, they'll do their best to oppress and control.
