I

Do people like those in old movies still exist?

People that feel so deeply

like Shakespeare wrote they did


I've been searching for those since I was young

In fact, trying to become one of their own

But whilst on my search I came to realize

We are now too scared to feel like those who lived before


We've forgotten emotions are to the soul

Like water to the plants

Unseen roots of life

Meant to be felt and not analyzed


Awoken to the modern world

Even I am careful not to love too much

Yet I wonder very much

When I should draw the line

Between exteriorizing a feeling and losing my pride


I fail to find the answers

As to why curing agony with love could be bad

Isn't it just the intense human crave

Of a peaceful and harmless life?


I was born to feel as much as I can

Not to be caged

Not to become a flightless bird

When my wings work perfectly fine


I shall be brave

And keep the window of my soul open

Transform emotions into rhythmic words

Not to brag of a mature voice

But to prove myself feeling is not wrong
