The Depth of a Soul..

I stop. I see. The pain all around, The pain in the air. So many reasons to, So many ways to, give up. People hurt, with hope lost. The type of hurt few people understand. The world we live in, The life forced on us, suffocation, barely living, barely breathing. Destruction all around us, People are hungry, people are dying. The lack of control, Finding anyway to express themselves, searching, yearning, for equality, in essence... love. It's hard for me to, see this, and have zero control of, any of it.

When I wake, turn my head, and just smile. It was real, It is   real. You were there all along, buried into my soul, Into my heart. All I want. Is to feel whole again, that way.
