Someone teach us to free our feelings, because we do not know how to live like that. We do not know how to word our feelings out, or express them through action. We are stuck wanting someone to read our silences. But silences are unreadable. We do not know how to think positive, because really, what is truly positive? We know that the negatives accompany every good thing and we are afraid. We are so afraid to let our hopes soar. It doesn’t take that long to fly, but we know when hopes crash, everything breaks into pieces.
Call us cynical if you must, but what can we really say? We do not use cynicism as our armor. Please don’t think so. It is but our savior. As long as we know something will go wrong we will not end up shattered. We call it the reality.
So we need someone to teach us how to let go. We need to learn to love, to dream, to be an optimist. But optimism is not something that we are familiar with. We need to trust in something so bad. We do not know how to let all our thoughts show. Instead we pack them in boxes, wrap them in fairy tales and tuck them away.
Now that box is lost and we need help to find it again. Someone please help us find it again. That box holds so much of us. But we do not how to ask for help. We do not know how to say that we need support. We do not understand how we can find someone who sees us, even without the box of feelings in our hands.
So please. We know, it is hard to find people you cannot see, hear them when they don’t speak. But our eyes are speaking, our hands are speaking. We are asking for help. Will you help us to find ourselves again?
