Thoughts

emotions

It takes a lot
doesn't it
to move you.
making you feel something again

whether it be a Keaton Henson song
or a soul shattering movie

something that can tug
enough force to move the mountains
but only cause a slight deviation of the soul
how accustomed are we?

all the emotions in line
following the whistle and commands
marching forward
you do not cry unless told to
love unless loved
smile without humor
point out the ever-quickening spread
of emotionally hollow organisms

it takes an earthquake to awaken your soul
how fucken sad is that
we have become so disconnected from reality

laughing when instructed
and crying when applicable
