Catharsis

Systematic dissection of the soul
Attrition of a life
They tell you
How men should be
And make a mockery of identity

Those who don't hide their voice
Do it because they know not how to
They were not taught
Standards and  measures
And living by yardsticks

If you were mocked at
And hated
Or frowned upon
For choosing to choose
Rest assured, you have lived well.
