Stop
I just want for everything to stop
The chaos in my head
And the yelling in my brain
I want the war to stop
I’m sick of being forever glued to the sidelines
And watching all the hurt and rage unfold
I want everyone to feel better
Is that too much to ask?
And I wish that people would be okay with other people
They are of the same flesh
The same intertwined messy stories
Yet there is always conflict
Everywhere
You will find rough conflict
Whether it be the battles I face in my mind,
The plots from others
Or them not being able to believe in themselves
Although they should
They deserve that
There is always the disaster in this seemingly controlled environment
You could say that anarchy never misses to take a visit
As much as I want everything to stop
It just can’t be that way
The battles can only be calmed
And we can only move on with our imperfect lives
We can only learn to live with the battle wounds
And learn to forgive those who put them there
Teach yourself to breathe again
Sigh away the fear
Wipe the tears away
Pick yourself up
Accept the static in your brain that comes once you have finished the last war
Take the numbed mellowness with comfort
Absorb it all
Know that the noises in your head only have good intentions
Even if you can’t see those intentions
They’re right there
They are merely hiding
And know that there is beauty to all the
Crazed madness
And stop asking for things to stop
Because we are only human
We cannot control
Nor can we remake our brains and our emotions
We can never untangle the glorious knot that is the heart
The jumbled disorder that is a person’s thoughts
We can only live
We can only learn to thrive
And most importantly
We can
And we must
Learn to love
