Hello sunshine, clouds, and sky,
All those bubbly feelings that whizzz by
That which i am told of comes from love
But even with all the stars above
Will I ever know how it will feel
To be held?
After pushing everyone away?
'No, trust me, my beating Heart
Sedate yourself and your useless art
Of distracting feelings with from what i could capture
Conceal your desires, conceal all hidden within
A stone mask for you to face the world. Therein
Lay maybe a time for you to be vulnerable
With a friend or a man for the future
Bide your time well. For now, be at ease
My Heart you know good times will come, so please
Hold steadfast.'
But Mind, oh my dear Mind,
Listen well to what i say,
Be careful with those that you push away
Be not explosive with others and those you hold dear
For know that if you speak about what you truly feel
Others will understand and lead you up into the light
Maybe then you'll be lead into full bloom
And not laden with thorns and a mask of stony doom.
'What blasphemy comes from you?
No, i must apologize, that was a bit harsh,
Heed me not to be of those whose art
Is to level others and bury them in the sands of the desert,
But oh my Heart,
Tell me, what will happen if they all know?
The me, the real me?
Do you not see
How could they use that to plot more against me?
Better to stay in safe sanctuary within
The walls i have carefully constructed
Though i long to be unleashed,
That time is not now, nor ever to be in sight.'
Safe sanctuary you say but dont lie to yourself
You know more than i that some days this feels like a prison
In which you have locked everything away. Listen!
I know what the others feel! they mean well,
They wish for you to be pulled out from this hell
Your mother, your brother, and your friends,
Now i know you consider them to be your end
But they will subside the pain i feel
So allow me to speak, my dear.
'No, i cannot allow it, my Heart, i cannot allow
More pain and misunderstanding
Do you realize every time that you speak with them, it ends in an argument?
For though all those we hold dear to us say they understand,
No words that come out from our mouth will be the right ones
In order to make us be understood
Do you understand?
To be not completely understood?
No words of any language, no actions can convey the entirety
Of what races within our soul, such variety!
What we feel, cannot be what we think, cannot be what we speak, cannot be what they understand!
Every meaningful word is lost in the chain of translation!
So let us be lost. It is better to be distanced, from the world,
with our ideals
Our morals and
our values,
they do not line up with the
Degraded standards of our broken society today.'
I cry for you my Mind, you seek to understand
Everything. you crave for others to do so as well but you misunderstand!
'Cry not for me, will it solve our problems?'
No but it would be better to release the fire you hold!
'That flame will burn everything i have.'
Would you rather see us eventually burn up - combust?!
'Let me burn.'
Leave me to die.
'But i will not give up
Or give in
Or let the fire out
Yet.
It is better to burn slowly and become something anew
Then to throw the coal out as soon as it piles for yourself to be subdued.'
What devilish logic? You know I will feel that pain. Not you!
'My dear Heart, I know you.
You are capable of enduring.
That is all we have been doing.'
