Search for purity leads to insecurity 
Individuality an incapability 
Trapped within outside theories 
Ideals adopted, agreeable on basis 
Yet to question aspects a cardinal sin 
Should self expression mean social loss of face 
Labelled unaware because you beg to differ 
Hiding behind a shroud of belief 
Staunchly involved, highly confused 
Confidence in your firmly lodged thoughts 
Yet take a back seat while others speak for you 
Should every single thinking moment 
Be saturated with political stance 
Striving for perfection 
Fear of group rejection 
Better to be at mental ease 
Than harbouring thoughts not mutually agreed 
The spoken mind and reasons why 
Dictation by others be denied without fail
