They don't know how it feels

to awake every morning,
and all they can wonder is
why they had even awoken

They don't know how it feels

to pick up all of their pieces,
and put them back together
but still feel like they're broken

They don't know how it feels

to say all that they can say,
and still feel like there's more
but every word has been spoken

They don't know how it feels

to go to sleep every night,
and the only hope they have
is that their eyes will not open

bless
take the hurt away
let love stay,

take the pain away
let love say,

take the tears away
let love today,

take it all, i pray

people die everyday, everyone knows that
but what about the people who died, who still had life in their eyes, dreams to fulfill, promises to keep and loved ones to come home to...
we,
as potentially conscious beings,
do incur such fantastic Purgatory
and yet we seem
indeed so very keen
to choose to wallow in
vain and irksome squalor-
a comfortable yet blind stupor
when it comes to
the very real causality
wrought of our intention:

yes, you read right:
i said "potentially conscious."
in the world we live in today
how could you not see beauty?

sure this earth is cracked and bleeding
but in those cracks grow flowers

sure those flowers are just buds
but one day they will be

in full bloom

Do not
forget
to hold
your heart
close
and
protect it
against
the savagery
and
careless handling
inflicted
by those
too blind
to see
its beauty.
