Why can't we not think about the things we feel and say?
The sad truth about the idiocy of human beings
Every now and then, a person just needs to scream
To let their words pour out of them without restraint
We are taught not to do this
We are taught to think before we act
To think before we speak
To bottle up the true thoughts and words that flow endlessly thorough our mind, but may never come out because they aren't...
Politically correct
…Or proper
…Polite
…Or wise
Emotion is a luxury that we are trained to suppress
And it's even worse being a man
Being emotional is being a pansy
To have fear is to be less of a man
And to cry
…is to be a woman
Why can't we be honest?
With ourselves
With our emotions
With other people
Why do we have to wait until we explode before we can express everything we are?
When something bad happens, you always hear, "it wasn't meant to be"
That's a bunch of crap
Bad thing are not meant to happen to good people
Having your heart torn out isn't a part of the master plan for you to move on and find the right person
We say that in order to cope with the feelings of loss
The feelings of anger
Of pain
Of rejection
We have been told to not get over emotional
So we create a lie to convince ourselves that it was meant to be that way
Heaven forbid us to embrace what travesties have occurred
To allow ourselves to cry
To be vulnerable
To hurt
Sure…
We do move on
But we do so falsely
We trick ourselves into thinking that we are ready
When all we really seek is a distraction from reality
We take every opportunity for avoidance
We work
We sleep
We go out more
We indulge in guilty pleasures
We do everything that a person should do in their lives
But we do it for the wrong reasons
We don’t do it to live a happier life
The way we always should
No….
We do these things because we feel the need to do everything in our power to not face our problems head on
We fake it until we make it
And what we make is a facade
The reality remains suppressed
Just waiting for a trigger to release all the emotions that have been buried away
And often
They end up being misdirected
Anger towards a boss falls on a friend
Lost love becomes forced lust
Sorrow turns to resentment
Frustration becomes avoidance
And longing becomes regret
We know what we want
We know what we should do
Need to do
Yearn to do
But we fall too afraid to do it
Too afraid to face the possibility of failure
We become cowards
Too afraid to go for our dreams
Because for some reason, people would rather have the dream than have it crushed
That again is bullshit
There is the saying that it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved before
That sounds true
And should fall upon the quest for happiness
To reach that which we want most out of life
It is better to have tried and failed
Than to forever say what if?
We are a backwards people
Afraid of what others think about us
Afraid of what we truly are...
Or want to be
We hide behind distractions
We adhere to the social standards laid into us by a society of idiocy
We all know what the concept of utopia is
But we don't even strive to reach it
We convince ourselves that it can never happen
That perfection can never be reached
It is too far
It is too much
Why set yourself up for failure?
Why start a project that you can't finish?
I'll tell you why…
It's because coming close to perfection
Would still be better than where we are now
