Concept & idea
This piece wanders through thoughts, wanting to protect them from other people's words and thoughts. It talks about how other people's words have the power to change the way we think, but also how our thoughts affect the words we want to say. Rather, thoughts doubt the words themselves. If we constantly listen to someone's thoughts and words, after a certain time we believe them, we think in the same way. In the end, we conclude that we are speaking other people's thoughts, and ours are somewhere forgotten.
