We often express almost everything we feel
We express what we think is real
We express for it is the thing what keeps our sanity
We express because it is where we find our serenity

We express not just because we wanted to be understood
We express because it is what we want
Who even cares if they do not understand what we try to convey?
Who even cares if they do not understand us?

We express because it is our free will
We express because we wanted to
We express because we are members of this wondrous human society
We express because we desire to show this world what we have in mind

A great friend of mine once mentioned an acronym
Which was "D.I.E." and stood for "Do not Implode, Express."
It really made a mark on my mind
It was like the blade of a sword which slashed my cold body

Long have I kept my misgivings in my dark side
Long have I sought things that no one can ever abide
Long have I wandered this world alone
Long have I imploded just not to hurt others

Expressing is a great thing to do
It is as magnificent as life
Expressing my thoughts does really take lots of courage
But it takes more courage to stop imploding and start expressing
