Wrote this 5 years ago and it still holds true. I showed it to a great friend who was having a hard time and reread it myself. Thought I'd share it with all of you.
Why are the tears and memories that continue to return to us, always holding us back? When will we be able to not succumb to that weakness? How will we find, within ourselves, the confidence to exert all the potential that lies dormant in our hearts? To the people who are pressured, to live a life of lies, just to be accepted; Why? To the people who routinely live life in an emotionless passing; Why? To the people who assume they have the authority to judge others, when their sins are greater; Why? When will people accept others faults, as well as their own? When will everyone just act as they choose, and never have to worry of others impressions of them? When will we be free?
Why must we put barriers up? Barriers that shield us, from an unknown. Barriers that hurt us, and never heal us. They kill all emotion, and empathy, that may be the one thing that will heal us. Heal us of this pain, of this life, of this insanity, of ourselves. Let the barriers fall, with a force that will shake the world. A force that will liberate us from the constant fear, pain, and denial. A force that will show others, that we can live, with transcendence or damnation, and never have to leave ourselves alone.
Being alone, secluded, and tortured. Why do we not change? Why do we seek closure, but never have the courage to find it? When will we leave the safety of our own world, to experience a new one? What will we do, now that we see this new world? Will we reject it, and never leave our own world again? Or will we embrace it, and change our own world? Dont reject it, for some of our world shouldnt be rejected. It makes us remember, as to show how better we are now. How we have matured, and what we will become. Take the first step; it will get easier with time. Just remember the road to change is long and hard, but we will become better people from the journey. Let the experiences motivate us, and the thought of new ones push us faster to seek them out.
Why do we seek to repent, and try to explain the life we live? Why do we seek to re-assure the purity within ourselves? Why worry, as to hide the demons within ourselves? All of us have Angels, and Demons within. For what reason should we try to bury them, to never show the side which we are ashamed of? What does it mean, to fake a smile, or to fake our lives? What is the reason? Is it to save our own sanity? Is it a fear of insanity? A fear of an approaching regret? When will we see, that we must let these angels and demons out? For they will slowly take over us, if left locked deep within. Taking over the other until there is nothing left. They take control of us, as payment for our lies. They will show us, the coexistence that must be constant. When will we then learn, to show the Truth? The truth of ourselves, of others, and of life. We cannot hide it, because it will eventually suffocate us. But we need to feel decay, feel a sense of renewal. To change to coexist. To prove to ourselves the ongoing struggles shall not hinder us.
Why do we seek all of it? What in our minds makes us seek this sinless life? Why cant we live for ourselves? To live for the moment now, and for moments in the future. Why do we want to be gods and erase all of our faults and weaknesses? Why? Release the shackles that bind you to weakness, and live the life you want to. Shut out all the snickers and gossip that attempt to poison your uniqueness. In time, it will end. People will seek to be you, but there in lies the problem. The ongoing cycle of acceptance. Why cant we just end it? Why cant we be ourselves? Why?
