Emotions can be torture.
They can rip you apart, as if they were some hellish beast, bent on annihilating you in any way they can.
Using its claws to slowly rake away the flesh, which holds the many sins, and secrets, that you lock away in a place where even the dearest person in your heart will never know or see.
Slowly ripping out every unwanted memory,
Revealing every traumatic moment,
And shredding the cast iron lock you put in front of the place that holds the hellish nightmares that plague your mind every time your alone
Exposing the sad pathetic moments, when you cry yourself to sleep when you realize there is no one in the world to console you
Exploiting the torturous moments when your peers excluded you,
Isolated you.
When every whisper,
every laugh,
every glance,
you knew was about you
Displaying the moment your family, the ones who were supposed to love and cherish you,
Turn you away in your time of need
Showing the awful moment,
When the person you believed to love you,
Breaks you in ways you have never, ever, been broken
The horror and the pain, that emotions so lovingly put you through,
Is enough to destroy anyone's spirit
But, as cruel as it is,
There is always a light,
Always a small flicker of hope in the darkness, which can slowly grow to the roaring flame of a fiery spirit
The moments where the sins and secrets are, finally, dragged out of you
The moment where the unwanted memories turn to dust in the wind,
Where the traumatic moments are resolved as bad experiences,
When the hellish nightmares are examined in the daylight, and laughed at,
When the tears cease as another soul lays next to you and consoles you, till the tears cease to flow,
When the kindred spirit steps away from the masses, to give you the companionship which makes the rest of the world not matter,
When the family, who is supposed to love and cherish you, finally does,
When a loving soul, picks up your broken pieces and helps to make you whole again,
This is the extent of being a human,
We love and we hate,
We destroy and we rebuild,
We give everything and take everything,
When we are alone, we tear ourselves apart
When we are together, we have others to rebuild what has been broken
We are selfish, dark creatures,
We are also creatures, so pure, and innocent
While the sands of time continue,
Humans remain the same
Full of light and dark,
Yearning, reaching out,
Shutting down, recoiling,
Many things will change,
advancements will be made to science, literature, art, and music,
Our species will evolve,
Change in ways that will amaze all that behold,
But emotions will not change,
They will bind us, control us,
Free us, enlighten us,
Reveal the souls we bury deep inside,
And free the soul which yearns to fly away
