it's the censorship.

it's what separates the worthless hacks from the artists.

...

not really.

a true artist is never censored.

then again, a censor is nothing but a worthless hack.

a spitoon.

a thought without a mind.

a heart without a soul.

a poet without a __________.

A censor is the outlines and the goalposts. A censor is the weight lifted by
the athlete. A censor is the scale in the key of A minor. A censor is the
sonnet form. A censor is the resistance an artist needs to push against. A
censor is the boundaries.

Just a thought.

except that there's a big difference between a "censor" and an
"editor" and/or a "critic".

totally different "mindsets".

totally different obstacles.

totally different delusions.

...

i suppose that only those who've been censored could possibly
understand completely.
