I start
writing
I censor
myself
A sense of fear
nothing is secure
What is this stigma
what does it do
to my mind
what I can't write about
consume my mind
creating possibilities
and fear of desires
Poetry and
figure of style
helps to an extent
The raw crude reality
needs an escape
Immoral, illegal
asocial, anormal
I cut part of myself
out of existence
We collectively
decided the good
and the bad
Now without reference
better amputate more
just in case
just in case
Until what remain
has no fault
has no soul
has no life
