Box our feelings

inside a reason.

 

Intellectualize 

every season.

 

Never let our feelings

do the healing. 

 

There must be reasons,

for different seasons.

 

We tell ourselves,

to mask the feelings.

 

Let’s pop a pill 

to do the healing.

 

Distract our minds,

with scientific reasons.

 

Rationalize the struggle;

overworking is pleasing. 

 

Isn't that what they're teaching. 

Isn't that what we're seeing. 

 

Fill every inch of space and time

with the loudest noises.

 

Drown the silence,

Magnify all voices. 

 

Follow the leaders,

Simon doesn't give choices. 

 

Aim to be relevant,

that is your purpose. 

 

Listen, Listen!

 

Do you hear

The scream from fear,

 

IF our feelings

suddenly appeared.

 

Hurry, Hurry!

 

Pop more pills,

buy new things,

just fit in, 

keep acting.

 

Find more boxes,

find more labels.

when you have reasons,

you are able.

 

Isn’t that what we’re told?

Isn’t that what they’re teaching?

 

There must be reasons

for the feelings we are feeling. 

We convince ourselves,

to deflect our true reasons. 

 

But what

do we do

with feelings

without reasons?

 

Can we just 

stop

and 

let

ourselves

feel

the

feelings?
