That Is.....

Listen. Right now, listen....

Did you hear that?

There it was again...

That right there.

What was that?

The ringing in our ears?  The humming of life?

That is the world. That is the world breathing and living.

That's what that is.

That's what life is.

That is the world around us living up to its full potential.

That is the cacophony of emptiness we create whenever we stop--

Listen.....Did you hear it?

It's nothing.

It's what's left over when we take life for granted.

But why do we take life for granted?

Is there really nothing new to see here? Nothing at all?

Do we just not care anymore? About anything?

But what if.................is all there is after life?

What if there's nothing more?

How will we able to sense all that is around us

when the infinite nothing engulfs us all

And when we realize that we never did everything we wanted?

Is that what we want? To not know?

To fix this we must feel the earth.

Do you feel it?

Do you feel the earth breathing with you?

Well, the earth feels you.

The earth feels your heart beating, your lungs breathing, you blood pumping.

Is that what makes us human?

I don't know, but it's what makes us alive.

But does what makes us alive, make up our minds?

It shouldn't be allowed to control us, right?

And yet we are controlled.

We have no choice.

We are locked in, we can't escape, we have our path chosen for us by

Them.

Them?

Them,

those that control and organize others' lives because

They Themselves cannot truly be alive.

Them; the doubters, the non-believers,

The ignorance suppliers,

The illiterate individuals,

Bullies.

While They do what they want,

We have locked ourselves away by repeating past lessons.

We do nothing.

We are herded.

We are led.

We have failed the earth.

When do we get to choose what to do?

When do we get to be in charge?

Once the Nothing engulfs us?

That doesn't seem fair.

But then what should we do now?

Well, for now we are judged.

We are judged constantly by Them.

We are judged when we make mistakes and when we have successes.

But when we make mistakes it's how we move forward and act in the future

that best describes us as human beings.

But that is not how we view others.

We dwell on physical things.

We believe in those who have and own matter.

We believe that those that own, matter.

We believe that They have a say in what we do.

They shouldn't.

But They do.

Why do They?

What do They get to be when They are still deciding for us?

Who cares?

Because you are better.

You are better than Them.

You, with your life and your personality, you are you.

YOU ARE YOU. 

Your body is a symphony that instills a synchronous harmony

into the cacophony of emptiness around us

and no one can take that from you.

They, can try and take it from you in the future

and we all know They have in the past,

But we cannot let Them get through.

They break you down and tear you down, They say that you don't matter.

Well, GOD DAMMIT, you matter.

You are you.

You do what no one else can do.

You are you.

You are someone that never backs down.

You are you.

You are human.

You are you.

You are alive.

You are you........

You just need to find yourself

and to listen to what you have to say.

Because it'd be worth listening to.

And I believe that you can.

Because you are you.

But you is just a word.

Three little letters that have no meaning apart,

but hold in --your-- essence.

And if we hold something that esteemed then "you" becomes "Them".

Then we haven't gotten anywhere, now have we?

So what is you? What are you?

You is you. You are you.

And that is why I love you.
