Don't think you have to conceal
how you feel
if it's real
It takes more courage to cry
than it does to deny
So, if you want my advice . . . it's like this;
Feel everything
but just learn to control the feeling.
Don't deny
Don't suppress
Don't turn your back on something you really should be looking at.
Don't play the Stoic - or the Sceptic - or the Cynic.
Don't kid yourself into the whole Nihilist thing . . .acting like none of this really matters anyway
No - trust me; It matters
Everything matters
That's why you feel it all so intensely.
So - what are you doing to do; just pretend you're not as emotional as you are?
Or numb the sensitivity?
Or train yourself to live half a life?
Well - ok
give it a go, if you want
But, take it from me
living life in a perpetual grey sky is never going to work out too well.
We're supposed to be out here writing poems about the stars
And enraptured by sunsets
And romanced by blue skies
And inspired by the clouds
And depressed by the rain
And cursing the frost
And damn near terrified of the storms too - if they come for us.
We're supposed to feel it all
Hope - Despair
Dreams - Nightmares
Sunlight - Moonlight
Everything
Then, no matter what this life of ours may bring
at least we know that we are here.
