Echo000 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Dear humanity, I have found myself at odds with you lately. A rift has been growing between us for quite a while now. Externally, I cannot understand your motives. Why is it you must attack me, even when I throw a white flag of peace? Tears are mocked, cuts are deepened, and I am left lost in a crowd yet cold from the isolation. I had so many beautiful hopes for you, humanity, when I was a child. Honesty, respect, compassion- all seemed like components worthy of thee. Yet here I write, alone in this room with the lights off, addressing a character who exists everywhere yet not at any one point. I am not saying you are ugly, humanity. Please dont take it that way. I have seen much beauty in you- much potential and ability. Sadly, however, I am deeply worried that your potential is going to waste. Speaking of love and potential, I fell in love with a girl my senior year in high school. I had never loved before, and had barely even liked. I once worried I simply was incapable of having strong feelings for anyone (romantically). I learned I was wrong when I met her, because over time I realized I had fallen in love. She was a year younger in school, so we went long distance until she moved to college (happened to move very close). Things changed, and humanity- YOU got in the way! Well, I should not blame you. I should not blame you because you are me. And you are her. And you are everybody else. I cant escape you- although I try so hard. I feel my humanity- breathe it, taste it, live it. I feel the human crutch of pain, a sense of betrayal and loss of direction. I suffer from knowing I am but one in a million of you, humanity. That I fell so hard for a girl, and now she occupies most of my negative thoughts. Images of her with others of your kind, images derived from a fiction only capable of being created by a human mind. I recognize you as you are humanity, for you are me. And I cannot escape. Echo
meeji Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Beautifully written. We're all here bc something happened. I guess it doesnt look so good for "humanity" right now. I hope writing that out helped you get some release.
grace777 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 But, humanity brings hope, and love and acceptance. Humanity gives us a reason to love again. Humanity stings when the time or purpose is wrong, to urge us along to what is right. Do not give up hope in humanity.
Author Echo000 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 Humanity is the wisest child you will ever meet. Often sweet and good at the core, but capable of doing rash things. How do you deal with that? 1
