The Common Person’s Way of Thinking

We all hide scars 

underneath the tough skin we have formed. 

We all have flaws, 

but we choose not to tell. 

To wait for them to reveal themselves. 

We all have hopes and dreams, 

but we say they’re stupid and that 

we’re never going to achieve them. 

This is the common person. 

And their way of thinking. 

We are all guilty of it.
