We are all misunderstood creatures roaming the earth, searching for ourselves.
We pray that we roam with purpose hoping for meaning behind the insanity.
We suffer greatly for our beliefs and opinions that formulate us into individuals.
Who we wish to be are simple portraits that hang in the walls of our minds.
Who we are perceived as by our peers are nothing but blurred reflections in an altered state.
Who we truly are, are beautiful and complex works of art that stand before a Creator.
Through a simple gift, each individual is given a chance to build a world.
Each world is unique yet similar. Simple and abstract.
Our lives can be complicated and barbaric.
Many struggle to find acceptance with the reality they are given.
Searching for proof in the facts, and solidity in the ground.
Many times we feel as if we stand alone.
Other times we feel content.
And some times we feel blessed.
Our goals and standards of normality range from conservative to provocative.
For many, life’s thrill is in ones ability to be humbled.
For others, it is in the shock value of their actions.
What defines life is held in the breath of each lung.
One’s stress related to “valuables” can be taken with a grain of salt or the weight of the world.
But due to our common source and mutual end, I believe we are all the same.
We search for beauty in every soul; living or not.
We crave to be touched on every level; both physical and spiritual.
We long for peace to be found in every heart; in the common and mislead.
We expand in the direction of knowledge; through education and experience.
We require Love. Acceptance. Guidance. And Growth.
But above all things that we search, crave, long, expand for, and require is to know what it is like to be understood.
To be Understood is to be Loved.
