We are too selfish,

We all want to shut down our feelings

when things get too hard,

We don't want to feel any of it,

Because it hurts too much.

But when it comes to love,

We want to feel it all.

We love only because we want to,

Because it makes us feel good.

We all know love is together thing,

It is meant to be between people.

But what about pain?

We never want to face it,

We are too weak,

What about our loved ones then?

Should they disappear too?

Won't they be hurt when we leave?

Running away won't help,

Facing it together will lessen the burden.

Nobody will ever know what you're going through,

Because only you can feel all of it.

However, your loved ones would want to be there for you,

You won't be alone in your fight.

You say they won't understand,

Obviously they won't,

not unless you let them know.

We all have these almonds in us,

Amygdala, they're called,

We feel because of them.

And to feel is a blessing,

Because life is all about it,

And we need to face all of it to be complete beings.

It's okay to be scared,

We are all afraid of losing and letting go,

Sometimes the situations can't be helped,

But as long as we fight,

We'll be okay.

We might feel lonely and tired,

But it's a part of life,

Pain in inevitable.

We eventually learn to live with it,

To find happiness amidst that pain is what we ought to do,

It's difficult,

But we'll be fine,

As long as we have love in our hearts,

And the will to live well.
