Tell me if It hurts you when you’re so quiet I can hear you breathing
when the last of sun rays go away
do you go about putting on lanterns
or do you embrace the dark that follows?
Tell me if it makes you sad when you burn photographs
when there’s no one else around you
do you hope for someone to come along
or do you talk to yourself in the quiet that surrounds?
Tell me if it makes you numb when you walk
when you can’t bring yourself to maintain an eye contact
do you feel ashamed
or do you feel protected?
Tell me if it makes you scared when youth lioness in the eyes that once
glimmered with life;
when you see someone giving up
do you feel sorry for them
or do you see yourself in their eyes?
Tell me if it brings you back to life when you see a bird taking flight:
when you see an airplane in the sky
do you wish to do the same
or do you feel the air surrounding you?
Tell me if it makes the pain a little bearable
when you hold someone close and feel warm inside:
do you hold onto that feeling
or do you live in that moment only?
Tell me if it makes you feel alive when you run through a field of sunflowers:
when you make bouquets of roses
do you steer clear of thorns
or do you understand the love?
Tell me if it makes the world a better place to live in when you see a child smiling:
when you do a good deed
do you think of satisfaction
or do you think of redemption?
Tell me if it makes this life a little more worthwhile when you light a beacon of hope
in someone’s journey.
When you see them braving through difficulties.
Do you wish to be like them?
Or bandage your wounds mercilessly.
