What is something you've thought, but never acted out?

Writing something, calling someone, even stealing.

We've all had a thought, one that weighs on our mind.

For some, that thought is gruesome.

Murder, suicide, even committing to a substance.

We will only understand another's impulse when we are in their shoes.

Open your eyes and your ears.

Listen and perceive.

For those who may stretch the truth like a labyrinth, might need an exit.

Those who shut themselves off like a lamp, might need that light.

Those who cease to speak, may need a voice.

The truth lies beneath the surface.
