Windows of My Mind

By mysticventures

Closed are the windows of my mind
for such as I keep, are not for prying eyes
To expose them would be to leave me naked and vulnerable
for those who would govern my life, may object to my tastes
And meet them with horror and disgust
and in their ignorance and fear, may seek to do me harm
Or even worse yet,
may try to change my tastes to suit their own
And just who are they anyway
to decide what gives me pleasure in my life?
Best I should just keep the shutters closed
besides-
they have their's closed as well
