Winter. A time of year we all know well.
A time of year when we hear the ringing of every bell.
A time of year when adults laugh and children play,
A time of year that lasts many a day.
Posted in response to the challenge PAST CONTESTS: Winter Tales.
I speak, you speak.
Together we share the emotions we’re feeling.
Giving and taking that wonderful thing called Empathy.
Together.
We speak our minds, cry together.
Share our fears, our thoughts, our feelings.
You know what we are?
We’re caged birds.
Birds trapped in a gilded cage.
They try to take away our freedom.
But will we let them?
What’s your answer to that?
We can’t let them.
But we already have.
When I’m with you, my heart is light.
I don’t feel the need to smile, smile, smile, laugh, laugh, laugh.
I can just be me.
And that feels amazing.
When we’re together, my smiles and laughter are genuine, not forced.
