Passing Thoughts

What spurs these emotions that I have...
all pent up inside me, ready to burst out into the world?

Pressures that don't seem to go away...
even though time and time again I will it to.

What makes humans the way we are...
the hope of fitting in and being someone important.

Is it wrong to want to understand...
to accept someone or something otherwise shunned by society?

What ignites these thoughts of being lesser animals...
wanting 'life' to be simpler with all means of throwing it away.

Thinking time is of the essence...
not knowing what 'to truly live' means until it is too late.

What are these sad and beautiful tears...
each crying out on their own; the unspoken words of the heart.

We are not plastic dolls meant to be toyed with...
the complexities of the human mind are still unraveling.

What is this continuing fear we have...
even knowing the dominance we are capable of as humans.

Eventually, when we boil it all down to the last detail and thought...
it is because of the knowledge of capable dominance over each other, that we allow ourselves to give up.

What are these words associated with fear or hate...
why does nobody seem to realize the elegance of love or hope?

We suffer, we feel pain and we may fall...
the procedures of our daily lives will always be in a flow of continuity...

Still.

We create strength, persevere and get back up again...
always risking and giving chances up until those last moments...

Creating Memories. Having Dreams. Achieving Goals.

We Must Always Strive.
