"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.
