Untamed

Keepings things inside can often lead to a lot of turmoil and give you the feeling that you are forever doomed to a dark shadow looming over you, washing you with waves of its depressing presence. Yet, it is often something one cannot help regardless of whether it is something they like doing or not. Society these days focus on the materialistic and superficial side of life, caring little for those that surround them. A lot of the time, people find that they cannot be understood and this forces them to retreat to a hard shell that protects them from the judgemental eyes and mouths of the world. Inside, they wish that there was someone who knew their every word and thought but they know that such a person may never exist for them.

This very fact alone chills them into a sense of insecurity and overwhelming sadness; had they actually raised their voice, to let themselves be heard, they run the risk of being judged and abused. The world would be so caught up on deciding whether the comments made are “right” or “wrong”, they would forget the real reason the person spoke to begin with: to let themselves be heard. That old saying “you should be seen but never heard” hasn’t faded with time. Humans are just as cruel now as they were centuries ago, dare it be said, humanity has grown crueler with time, rather than compassionate and understanding.

So, once again the person retreats to their little cocoon, that lovingly wraps itself around them, comforting them to the levels that no one else would care to. They feel safe yet alone and once again that dark shadow looms over them and they relinquish from speaking and saying what they think and feel. There is no one to blame but the shallow minds of the human race and the denial from such a race is not a pretty thing. Though humans may never change over the coming years and the social standards will diminish with time to a more horrible, degrading level, some people still hope this may not happen. It may be denial but it is denial that this race of intelligence will prove to be better than displayed.

Hope is all they have and without hope that tomorrow will be better, hope that the stars will forever shine upon them like the incandescent light of a small candle and hope that time will change people, there is nothing to live for. A world such as the one around us today, there is very little to dream and live for other than meaningless materialistic possessions that only fill the void. If things were to improve, perhaps a lot of people would feel much better and greater things can be appreciated rather than the mind-numbing television or latest gaming console.

Who are they to say we cannot be dreamers of things many don’t dare to dream?
