Mind & imagine

I've been devouring a book a day.
Nothing is more liberating than my mind journeying its way into introspection-
To another world, where different characters interact with me,
& I, free to become anybody

I finally realized how suppressed my imaginative mind has been.

It has aged & yellowed 

By time

& by the ruthless hands of my own criticality

A puppet in the relentless realm of academia
