What Flies In My Bones and Floats Through My Soul

Sometimes, we put things to work in order to feel seen
And when there's no applaud, no praises 
We think we are less of a being

Sometimes, we crave validation
We crave affirmations 
When there are times we hate ourselves

We feel the difficult that we can't communicate at times
Afraid if  anyone are bound to listen

Sometimes, we think that we're an island living in tranquility and peace
Until one day we find ourselves caving out and looking for affection

How long will it be enough for us to live in our shells?
Acting as if we're programmed to be someone else we fore-seek
Why do we put so much weight on these baggage

All I see lately are soulless creatures standing with feet walking on earth they take advantage of
Wearing medals of facade that their characters are as if negotiable

They often look down as if you have got nothing in your hand to offer
And will treat you to your great abomination when you have the full potential
And they play pretend afterward
they open your latent

The great lanterns you see flying up to the skies 
are where I scream out  my frustrations at loud
As if I have held them in centuries to release the heavy, 
the pain, the bothersome of what humanity does, and the pretense that slowly seem through my naked eyes

So, why? These questions are running through
And I just could not hide what my pain expresses towards you
Am I meant to be sorry for something that caused me despair?
Or can we just become a little human- filled with compassion and empathy

Why do we lack so much of it while we swim on the materialistic
What's the problem with humanity?

It is both a blessing and a curse 
to read out loud the energy in this room
I could leave anytime, but I uphold a change of heart
