Once I was whole.
Complete.
Unbroken.
Once I breathed
air.
Once I walked.
I spoke,
I smiled,
I looked sad.
Yes,
once I had feelings.
And then,
my sadness was selected.
Chosen
and frozen in it’s beauty.
And then,
the rest of me decayed,
vanished,
returned to dust.
And now
even the effigy is broken,
the marble decaying.
Only sadness remains.
And soon,
even that
will join me
in the dust.

If you, stop yourself from experiencing the sorrows in your life, then, you won’t be able to, experience everything else, as intensely as you are, supposed to, because, every feeling that’s good or bad, how we experience them, that’s what make us, complete, human beings. Besides, if we don’t allow ourselves to experience all the negative emotions to their fullest extent, they will eventually come back around, and bite us hard on the ass.
