Why are we so intent on labeling
the emotions running through our veins
until we're screaming and crying and enabling
this to each other even when it pains?
It's rigid, the colors, words, and faces
used to describe what it is blooming.
This focus on labeling replaces
the focus on how feelings are consuming.
It is treason
to the foundation of humanity;
this belief there is a reason
in disallowing ourselves this intimacy besides insanity.
Exploring what lies beneath the skin
is essential to how we perceive
the universe around us and the one within.
By forcing words on what is indescribable, what is there to achieve?
Let us be free
to have our emotions- our humanity- without
it being a plea
or spelled out.
