Slope = Mind

Your Spirit is thought
Free Thinking is constrained
Risks slide down and never rise again
The risk to be unknown
Rebelled against society
One is what they are
What they think you can be
No choice, only reality
They already chose for you
Everyday, every moment, they choose for you
Uniqueness is not a curse
Not a privilege, nor a right
Conformity has emerged
Has risen from the mountain of diversity
The mountain, the slope from which we slide
The powder of original thought that burns our faces
This is only what they wanted, what they perceived
What they intended for us
Begin to slide down
