Autumn’s
gray skies
I see our
sadness gathering the rain clouds, but it never rains, as those clouds are empty,
all the water already ran down our cheeks… But still the clouds won’t leave the
autumn skies and people don’t recognize, separate them from the real ones,
we’re used to the gray and endless autumn’s sky… and feed them saying that
we’re “fine”, only to break down when we’re alone… and, God, why it sounds so
normal, like it’s the only life we know, like it’s the right way to live… are
you okay with it?
We create
those gray skies, we cover the sun with our own clouds of fear, doubt, sadness,
denial, pain, hate, weakness… like we don’t deserve the sun, light and love… we
voluntary sing the lullaby of endless sleep and self-negation… so we could justify
our inner death and don’t move forward…
Some of us
are cowards, some hurt or broken, other numb or given up… and the saddest part
is that we’re fine with it… not ready, not trying, not wanting to help and be
helped, heal and be healed, care and be cared for, ask and listen, give and
take… because then we need to force ourselves to do something, for us, for
others, for a better day… But we are worth to take and share the best this life
and world can give us… all what we need to do is take a step and stretch a
hand… to fall into the world full of love, light, understanding and acceptance…
give all your love, hope, strength and you’ll receive three times more…
It won’t be
easy in the beginning… the storm will take away your peaceful sadness, but the
things you’ll discover will be worth it… maybe even strange… when you’ll
rediscover your beloved ones, your friends, your home… see them in full of sun
colors… because you can still fall in love with this world… you may not believe
it… I didn’t too… I used to create those clouds like you…
I can see
the sun breaking through the clouds, can feel how many eyes looked up and how
many lips cracked a smile… and how many will do, when they’ll let go the
clouds, their fear and doubt, other things keeping them down… and accept the
sun, shining for every one of us…
