the deluded ones [#2]

you

may 16th, 2017

to feel, it's a human quality that teaches us to understand that life can never be easy. life will rip your skin away, then your muscles. life will break your bones and muffle your screams, but it will not kill you. it will only hurt you, so you can feel. but why is it doing this? why is it making you suffer? why is it forcing you to bare the raw emotions you feel with your beating heart exposed and your eyes lit with a fire of rage and sorrow combined?

because, when every wall you can hide behind has been torn away and you are left with only your raw emotions, then you are living. you are revealing the sorrow, the agony of your struggles to the world.

one cannot live hiding away their emotions forever because to be human is to show the feelings, every thought of yours, to the world. to hide away the ability to feel, why, you're removing yourself of what makes you human compared to all others.

but life does not bare only your most aching emotions to the world. no, it does not. it presents the world with your joys, the happiness alight in your memories and events of days that can never be forgotten. it wraps your greatest moments in silver and golden foils, and it lets the world's light shine upon the foils and alight the world in awe and wonder, in beauty amidst the darkest sorrows.

because to feel is to be human. to be human is to live, and to live is not easy. life is filled with the terrors of futures and fears.

however, although it is filled with such darkness, there is still light. amidst the fear and terror of life, smaller moments shine brightly. the awe of seeing another come to life combats the sorrow of seeing another leave life. the wonders of success battle the aches of failure. the laughter and smiles of joy argue with the tears and frowns of depression.

although humanity endures much pain to live, they endure with the joys they can achieve and rise to the sky by revealing the way they feel to the world. despite the fears of being judged and the misery of betrayal by other members of humankind for being capable of expressing one's feelings, there is still the hopes and dreams of finding someone who appreciates your ability to feel and speak what you struggle to say at other times. to every ugliness, there can be a beauty if you search for it.

and finding you, hearing you say that you wish others were like me, a human capable of expressing their feelings, was truly a hope and dream that came alive. to hear another human being express their feelings and appreciate me for being capable of feeling, why, another light has been lit in the darkness. and it reminds me that life is dark indeed, but there are times where light can be found.

and this time, that light amidst the darkest caverns of my mind, is you.
