To the ones who are mastering
the act of staying all night, this is for you.. for us,
We’ve been raised to believe
that we should have our own voices, to follow our dreams and to always, always
be ourselves but as we grow older day by day; at least for me, I realized that
those who spoon fed us the letters of “be yourself” are the same ones who are
now living to be “we know what’s best for you”, it might be the words of love
because that’s what I like to believe. But let’s pause for a second to think,
who would like their thoughts to be restricted and their beliefs to be
inherited from those who like to water the flowers on our chains rather than
taking the time to break them and set us free.
This is for us, to the ones
who cannot sleep at night thinking will tomorrow give our wounds the strength
to handle those who like to dance on them? Will tomorrow give us the power to
remain silent as they plant thrones on our dreams?
This is for us, the guilty
ones, who gave others a chance to hold us back under the name of love, break us
under the idea that this world is too scary for us to handle it on our own.
Yet, on the behalf of us, I am hopeful; that not tomorrow but the day after we
will be able to let those blisters heal and we will stand, heck we will dance!
We will learn to dance on our own, holding the hands of our mistakes, dreams
and everything that might seem unreal.. We will dance.
We’ve been silenced for too
long, but we’ll wait for the day after tomorrow and hopefully we will surely
dance on our own.
