Something not quite right

There's something not quite right about this world. You've known it all your life. Yet everytime you raised your voice, you were told 'shush'.
You learned to keep quiet. You were told to keep quiet and accept that these things were 'just the way things are'. You felt all alone, with your 'crazy' thoughts. You didn't know that others also had 'crazy' thoughts because they too, had been told to keep quiet.
And so, you held it all inside. Afraid to speak out because you had been taught to believe that your ideas were 'crazy'. And you stood in a room full of people, and talked about trivial things whilst all the while you were aching to speak the truth inside of you.
But you didn't know that they felt the same way too. And they didn't know that you felt the same way. Because you had all been taught to keep quiet.
How comes there are so many people that feel this way? Is that just a coincidence? How comes there are so many people that feel this way and yet don't speak their truth? Is it fear? Fear of being called 'crazy' or fear of what will happen if they speak out.
Imagine the craziness of it all. A room full of people, believing the same thing, hiding the same thing, none brave enough to share what they feel inside. That's what the system does; teaches you to deny your inner most voice. Teaches you to trust the authority of the outside world, not the authority within.
No wonder there is so much unhappiness. People internally banning themselves all the time. People disconnected from themselves, who they really are and for what? To feed a system, that is never ever satisfied.
