Freedom

by Cassie   Jul 18, 2006


Life could be
so much easier
without emotions,
without feelings.
no pain,
no love,
no tears,
no happiness.
just existence.
a way to defeat
nature's cruel trick,
of creating the only
creatures with the
ability to cry,
and making them
the only creatures
with the ability
to feel heartbreak,
to feel sadness.
without emotions,
we would not
be so burdened,
so fragile.
so...alive.
we would not
waste our energy
on useless feelings,
on tears,
on love.
for in the end,
we all die,
regardless of whether
we felt anything
of love or pain
or not.
in the end,
it doesn't matter.
you can sacrifice
everything in life,
or you can live
for pleasure alone,
but it makes
no difference to
the death that
waits to claim you.
so why torment
your own soul?
why make yourself
vulnerable?
feelings are naught
but foolish desires.
evil forces prey
on emotion.
so why let yourself
be hurt?
when all means nothing
to a person,
that person can know
freedom.
