Lost souls
So many lost souls
Searching for something bigger than themselves
To fill the emptiness in their lives
Finding only fragments
Pieces of joy, pieces of sadness
Pieces of hope, pieces of despair
Pieces of redemption, pieces of anything
Small pieces, small ideas, small ideals
Thousands, millions, billions of them through time
And still they do not fill the void
Still, they are restlessly searching in the dark
Still, they are lost souls.
...or not to break their hearts. That is the ultimate question. When you strip away the pros and cons, the dos and donts, all you're left with is the raw emotion. The human conflict of love and hate, pride and disappointment, triumph and despair. It is always said that you should do what's right for you, or what you do should be for you and not anyone else. But no man is an island unto himself. Every action is a toss of a stone into the pond of life, sending ripples out in all directions. It becomes less about where the stone lands and more about the ripple effect. How far will it reach and how much will it affect. To some it will be a slight tremor, to others, a tidal wave. To some it will nudge them in the right direction, to others it would capsize their lives.
It will break their hearts, but just as the ripples die, so will the pain. Just as the stone will find a new resting place, so will I. In time, the pond will be at peace again, and life will go on.
Everything is meant to be. Events were, are, and will be no matter what. It is only an issue of time. The concept of time is the reason why things happenEND, are happenING, or WILL happen. Foresight and hindsight are merely different lenses through which we view the same event from different perspectives. Changing how you feel about, or how you handle the event, does not change the event itself. Only time can put matters behind us or ahead of us. To be afraid of what is to be is to be afraid of what has already been.
